South Railway Street Downtown Open to Traffic
Back to Search*Revised to add information about MPE Engineering Ltd. role in managing this major project.
Medicine Hat – South Railway Street Downtown is now completely open to traffic. Following the completion of minor items, the major infrastructure upgrade between 2nd and 5th Streets SE will be completed.
This project involved the replacement of water, sanitary and storm mains as well as the restoration of surface infrastructure, including the asphalt roadway and concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk. Throughout the project, access to business was maintained and the project occurred in stages to facilitate traffic in and out of the downtown core.
“This project is being completed on time and on budget,” says Brian Murphy, General Manager of the City’s Environmental Utilities. “Thank you to residents and businesses for their ongoing understanding as crews worked from April until October to replace aging infrastructure with a high quality deep utilities network that will provide long-term benefits to residents, visitors and to the downtown core.”
A photo gallery on the City website captures the ongoing work with images people rarely see of what lies below our City streets. In total the project involved the following work:
Replacement of:
400 meters of sanitary sewer main
360 meters of water main
220 meters of storm sewer main
13 catch basins
300 meters of curb and gutter
230 meters squared of concrete sidewalk
Paved over 6000 meters of asphalt
Total tendered cost of the project was $3,098,055.00. MPE Engineering Ltd completed the design, managed the project and provided engineering expertise throughout construction. The Project Contractor was LBCO Contracting. A “Businesses are Open” advertising campaign and prominent roadway signs promoted businesses in both Downtown and the South Flats project areas.
