Project Profile:
This project is the latest in a series of designated improvements scheduled for 48 Avenue. The work involves the realignment / widening of 48 Avenue along the south side of this roadway, allowing lane widths to increase to the modern standard. The curb and gutter will be replaced throughout the project, which will introduce minor grade changes to improve drainage along the roadway.
Newer, wider sidewalks will be constructed on the south side of 48 Avenue to improve pedestrian comfort, safety and accessibility. Asphalt failures on sections of roadway and drainage issues will also be addressed as part of the scope of the project.
For these blocks of 48 Avenue, traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction for the entire duration of the project which is expected to take up to 6 weeks.
