**Medicine Hat, AB – **The railway tracks and bridge at the bottom of Dunmore Road hill will be under construction starting Saturday, August 24. The project is part of the City’s on-going bridge maintenance program required to maintain the service life and reliability of the structure.
The construction project, located at the south side of the intersection of Dunmore Road SE and Spencer Street SE, will be broken down into two separate weekend closures to reduce motorist impact during the work week.
The first closure involves the removal of the railway tracks, which will be performed the weekend of August 24 to 25.
The second closure, set for the weekend of September 7 to 8, will accommodate the overlay of the bridge deck over Seven Persons Creek, along with minor concrete works.
These two closures will require a closure of Dunmore Road hill and implementation of a detour each weekend. Northbound traffic looking to access Kingsway Avenue SE and Allowance Avenue SE will detour down College Drive, College Avenue, and back down Kipling/Spencer Street.
Medicine Hat Transit route 30 will be affected and follow this weekend detour. Riders on this route are asked to allow extra time for their weekend commutes as the service may lead to missed connections.
Dunmore Road hill will reopen by 6 a.m. on Monday, August 26 for the first closure. It will again reopen by 6 a.m. on Monday, September 9 for the second closure and project completion.
Traffic delays are expected throughout this project. Motorists are asked to please obey all posted signage and detours. Active work areas will be defined with signage and barriers.
The City of Medicine Hat would like to thank residents for their patience as these necessary upgrades are completed in a timely manner.
