Portion of Allowance Avenue SE temporarily closed for water, sewer repairs

Medicine Hat – Starting Monday, June 6, Allowance Avenue SE between Ross Street SE and Balmoral Street SE, including both intersections, will be closed in order to upgrade water mains, sanitary sewer, and storm infrastructure. This planned capital work is expected to take up to five weeks dependent on weather and unforeseen circumstances.

Southbound motorists will detour off of Allowance Avenue SE onto Balmoral Street SE, south onto Woodman Avenue SE, and west onto Yuill Street SE to connect back to Allowance Avenue SE. Northbound traffic will zigzag west off Prince Street SE onto Princess Avenue SE, east on Balmoral Street SE, north on Ash Avenue SE, and west on Braemar Street SE, before connecting back onto Allowance Street SE.

Sidewalks on Allowance Avenue SE will remain open for pedestrians.

For the safety of workers and the public, travellers are asked to obey all construction signage and reduced speed limits through the work area.
