Beginning May 17, 2023, and going through until October, Marler Drive, from Parkview Drive to Mt. Pleasant Drive, will be undergoing major reconstruction.
First, there will be a full replacement of the underground water, storm and sanitary main lines including new services to each property line. Following the underground utility replacements, the roadway will be reconstructed with new gravel, asphalt pavement, concrete curb and gutter, and separate sidewalk. In addition, the landscaped boulevard will be rehabilitated following construction with new sod where required.
This important project is significant for Camrose and will result in traffic disruptions for the majority of the 2023 construction season. Please abide by the construction signage as contractors diligently work to complete this project.

Project Details The City of Camrose observed a sink hole developing on the surface above an existing storm sewer within the Stoney Creek ravine slope. Upon further investigation, the storm pipe has suffered a structural failure. The City has engaged a contractor to remove the failed pipe and replace with new pipe.
The project includes the excavation, removal and replacement of 130m of storm pipe and three manholes within the Camrose Creek ravine slope. The project is challenging due to the deep storm pipe installation, large diameter pipe and work on a slope.
Area Impacted Construction will take place within the Stoney Creek ravine south of 39 Avenue and east of Parkview Drive.

Proposed Start Date / End Date October 2, 2023 - October 31, 2023 (Some site restoration work, including trail repaving, will be completed in Spring 2024.)
