LETHBRIDGE, AB – The construction at the intersection of 4 Avenue and 7 Street South is over, and the intersection has been reopened.
The project completed three main elements, including the replacement of 100-year-old watermains along 7 Street South from 3 Avenue South to 6 Avenue South, and repaving along 4 Avenue South and 7 Street South. The work also saw the addition of protected bicycle lanes along 4 Avenue South from west of Scenic Drive South to Stafford Drive South, and along 7 Street South between 3 Avenue South and 7 Street South
Crystal Scheit, Urban Revitalization Manager for the City of Lethbridge said, “We only see benefits to having these new cycling lanes installed moving forward and it’s great to see the vibrancy brought in by the cycling lanes and the asphalt.”
She continued, “Knowing that we have the infrastructure underneath the surface to match everything that we can see on top is a huge benefit so that hopefully we won’t see any emergency water main repairs moving forward.”
