Portion of 13 Avenue SE closed for water main installation

Medicine Hat – Starting Wednesday, Sept. 7, 13 Avenue SE from Strachan Road SE to South Boundary Road SE will be closed for the installation of a main water line to the Hamptons subdivision.

The work is conducted by a local contractor on behalf of the land developer and includes digging a trench near the intersection at Southlands Boulevard SE and underground boring for the remainder of the line. The road is expected to reopen by Sept. 16, weather dependent.

Traffic to the mobile home park will have local access only from Strachan Road SE. Motorists will not be able to turn onto 13 Avenue SE from South Boundary Road SE. Residents in the Southlands neighbourhood should use Southlands Drive SE off of Strachan Road SE or South Boundary Road SE.

For the safety of the public and crews, motorists are reminded to obey all posted signage, detours and construction personnel.
