Power line upgrade project closing part of South Boundary Trail

**Medicine Hat, AB – **The pedestrian trail along South Boundary Road SE will be temporarily closed between South Ridge Drive SE and Vista Drive SE starting Wednesday, August 14 to accommodate underground power line replacement.
During this project, crews will replace the existing South Boundary feeder cables along this section of South Boundary Road SE. This feeder cable supports the residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the South Ridge, Vista and Hamptons neighbourhoods. This project will improve the electrical system’s reliability, redundancy and the quality of service to affected residents and commercial properties in this area. No customers are expected to experience a service disruption from this replacement work.
This project may also require minor isolated traffic restrictions to accommodate work as it progresses. Please obey all posted signage and drive with caution in the area.
Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed – and the trail reopened – by Wednesday, September 4.
Please note, South Boundary trail west of South Ridge Drive and east of Vista Drive is unaffected and will remain open during this project.
The City of Medicine Hat would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding as these necessary upgrades are completed.
