Town of Sundre

We’re in the home stretch! Crews are making great progress across the corridor — with concrete work, paving, and landscaping nearly wrapped up. Thank you for your continued patience as we move into the final stages of this project.

Progress to date:

·        Bridge area: Curb removal on the northeast side is now complete, and the northwest side has been excavated, graded, and prepared for new curb and asphalt.

·        2nd Street (north side): All grey and coloured concrete has been placed, and the area is now ready for the final patterned concrete pour; the first two lifts of asphalt are complete.

·        2nd Street (south side): Landscaping and installation of the signage and railing are complete.

·        4th Street (north side): All concrete is poured, including patterned sections; the second lift of asphalt has also been placed.

What’s coming in the next two weeks:

·        Bridge area: On the northwest side, curb and gutter will be graded and formed in the next couple of days, followed by concrete pouring and asphalt paving soon after; a new steel barrier will be installed early next week while the bridge remains open with flaggers in place to help keep traffic flowing. On the northeast corner, curb and gutter work is expected to be completed next week, followed by installation of the new steel barrier. The bridge is expected to open to two way traffic on July 22, weather permitting.

·        2nd Street (north side): Final patterned concrete is expected to be poured this weekend.

·        3rd Street (north side): Signage installation is underway and will continue through the week.

·        3rd Street (south side): Landscaping, coloured concrete work, and sign installation are expected to begin within the next few days.

·        4th Street (north side): Landscaping and final signage installation are planned for this week.

·        4th Street (south side): Crews will begin installing signs, boulders, and bollards over the coming days.

·        Highway 27: The final lift of asphalt is scheduled to be placed on the north side between 1st and 4th Streets by the end of the week, with paving of the remaining sections continuing into next week. Line painting will begin early next week on the north side and carry through to the rest of the highway by the end of the month. Crews are aiming to open Highway 27 to two-way traffic on August 1, weather dependent.
