It's time to "pave" the way for smoother commutes in Okotoks!
Upgrades on Northridge Drive in Okotoks are nearing completion, with crews working to finish the project by next Wednesday, October 14. The work, part of the Northridge Drive Urbanization project for Anthem United, involves concrete and asphalt work between Banister Gate and 338 Avenue.
The Town of Okotoks has outlined a five-phase plan for the work, with lane closures and traffic patterns changing as crews move from one phase to the next. Drivers are advised to watch for changing signs, lane shifts, and detours throughout the project area and to allow extra travel time.
Additionally, a pathway closure will be in place on the west side of Northridge Drive at the D’Arcy Heights rental complex, starting Monday, October 12, until the end of the month. This closure will affect north-south pedestrian traffic as crews work on an emergency access road to Northridge Drive from the parking lot.
Residents may also want to be aware that 32 Street, another main roadway to leave town heading north, is also under construction. Utility work along the east side of 32 Street and Crystal Green Lane began in August and is expected to wrap up next Wednesday, October 14. While 32 Street remains open to traffic, pedestrian detours are in place for access to Holy Trinity Academy.
