LETHBRIDGE, AB – The final development phases of Festival Square in downtown Lethbridge are set to begin next week.
Work will also include the 3 Avenue South Reconstruction Project between 4 Street and 8 Street. The City of Lethbridge has set a target completion date, as well as a grand opening for both projects, in June, weather and supply issues permitting.
The remaining work includes the completion of the Festival Square plaza, the 6 Street intersection at 3 Avenue, concrete crosswalks on 3 Avenue at 5 Street and 7 Street, coloured crosswalk paint at 7 Street, as well as 4 Street intersection curb extensions, line markings and landscaping on the west side of the intersection.
Work will start on Tuesday, April 5, weather permitting, with the crosswalks at 7 Street. Following this will be work at the 6 Street intersection and the Festival Square Plaza. At these stages, 6 Street will again be closed to vehicle through traffic. Turnarounds will be in place but there will be the ability to exit through the laneways, as they will remain open to help ease traffic movement concerns. Third Avenue will stay open and parking will still be available nearby.
