Town of Sundre

Thanks to everyone for your continued patience as we move through the busy summer construction season. We’re making great progress on key areas throughout the project, with more visible improvements completed each week.

Progress to date:

• Centre Street: Road structure and curb and gutter have been removed from Centre Street to the gas station on the south side.
• 2nd Street (north side): Grading and formwork for sidewalks, curbs, and gutters are now complete.
• 3rd Street (south side): Approximately 60% of the curb, gutter, and sidewalk concrete has been poured.
• 4th Street (north side): All curbs and sidewalks have been poured, and the mini roundabout has received its coloured concrete finish.

What’s coming next:

• Bridge area: Crews will be grading and placing gravel between Western RV and the bridge this coming week, followed by forming and pouring curb and gutter — some of which will take place at night. Barrier removal, concrete work, and landscaping will wrap up this phase of bridge-area improvements over the next couple of weeks.
• Northwest side of bridge: The existing road structure will be removed and replaced. Crews will then grade and prepare for curb and gutter installation.
• 2nd Street (north side): Work continues with grading and graveling the road surface, along with forming sidewalks, the median island, and mini roundabout. Once complete, concrete pouring will begin for sidewalks, curbs, and mountable curbs.
• 3rd Street: On the south side, crews are pouring coloured and patterned concrete. Signage installation is planned for the north side.
• 4th Street: Sign installation continues on the south side. On the north side, remaining coloured patterned concrete will be poured.
• Highway 27: Final milling is scheduled to take place this coming week, between the east side of the bridge and the creek. Paving and line painting of this stretch of highway is anticipated near the end of the month.

🚨 Reminder: New Vehicle Size Restrictions Coming Soon

Starting mid-July, for a period of two weeks, new size restrictions will apply to oversized vehicles through the project area:

• Max width: 4.45m
• Track width limit: 3.8m
• Vehicles over 4.45m will need an alternate route.
• Vehicles between 3.8–4.45m must meet clearance requirements and travel overnight (3:00–5:00 am) with 48 hours’ notice. Contact PME: Shane Gilmour (587-224-9395) or Shelby Evans (587-783-6881).

Thank you again for your ongoing patience and cooperation. With major components like the bridge open and concrete work nearing completion, we’re making steady progress toward wrapping up construction and restoring full access. We'll continue to keep you informed as we move into the final stages of the project

With major milestones achieved over the past week, including the bridge reopening and key street work nearing completion, we want to thank everyone for your continued patience. There's still more to do, but it’s great to see this progress.
