Road Construction
Road construction is necessary to maintain safe travel in any community. New roads, maintenance and upgrades are strategically planned according to specific construction specifications.
Current construction
The Major Projects Map and Road Closures map (below) highlight current construction areas in Medicine Hat. Projects that are very long in duration, or affect a majority of travelling public, may be highlighted with their own project webpage. View the City Projects webpage for more info. And don't forget to subscribe to have up-to-date advisories delivered right to your inbox.
Roads close for construction, emergencies, and many other reasons. Plan your route with the most up-to-date closure information.
Each year, the Major Projects Map is updated with the City's planned capital improvement and construction work.
Provincial highway projects
Alberta Transportation constructs and maintains provincial highways both within and outside city limits. These projects are currently underway.
