Water main installation on 5 Avenue SW

Medicine Hat – The City of Medicine Hat will be closing the 800 block of 5 Avenue SW to accommodate a water main installation.

This water main installation project stretches from 8 Street SW up to, and including, the intersection of 9 Street SW. Work is anticipated to begin Monday, September 9 and will last until Friday, September 20, weather permitting.

During this closure, 5 Avenue SW and 9 Street SW traffic will be detoured down 8 Street SW, 4 Avenue SW and 10 Street SW.

Detour and construction signage will be posted. Motorists are asked to obey all construction and detour signage in the area. The work zone will be fenced off for the public’s safety.

The City of Medicine Hat would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding as these necessary upgrades are completed in a timely manner.
