Lloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster and its construction partners will begin warranty work throughout the Highway 16 (44 Street) Rehabilitation Project area on Monday, July 17, 2023.
The rehabilitation project, completed in 2021 between 62 Avenue and 75 Avenue, shows signs of premature asphalt degradation. Following a comprehensive asphalt analysis, the City of Lloydminster, in conjunction with its engineering consultant and contractor, Knelsen Sand & Gravel Ltd., determined that the removal and replacement of the asphalt is required.
As the roadway is not showing signs of structural issues, the asphalt replacement is anticipated to be much less invasive and progress much quicker.

The rehabilitation work will be split into three phases: |
||
|
Phase 1 |
Jul 17-26, 2023 |
Concrete warranty repairs. Rolling lane restrictions, but no intent to close intersections. |
|
Phase 2 |
Jul 27 to Aug 9, 2023 |
62 Ave to 75 Ave Outside lane closures |
|
Phase 3 |
Aug 10-21, 2023 |
62 Ave to 75 Ave Inside lane closures |
|
Pavement Markings |
Aug 22-25 |
Rolling lane restrictions, but no intent to close intersections |
This phased approach will ensure easier access to businesses and properties along Highway 16 and maintain traffic flow in both the east and west directions without a need for crossover as experienced during the initial project.
Intermittent intersection closures on Highway 16 at 66 Avenue and 70 Avenue are to be expected; however, service to these intersections will be restored as quickly as possible after paving is completed. Additional intersection closures have been identified in the traffic accommodation plan.
Motorists are reminded to allow extra time for travel, slow down when driving in construction zones, and obey all signs, detours and barriers.
