26 Avenue Road Construction

At the May 26, 2025 Regular Council Meeting, City Council amended the 2025 Capital Budget to include $595,000 for the construction of 26 Avenue between 65 Street and the west entrance of Blessed Carlo Acutis Catholic High School (not all the way to 68 Street). This work includes building a paved road, sidewalks, landscaping, and streetlights to provide secondary access to the school before classes begin in September. Of the total cost, $30,000 will come from the existing 2025 Operating Budget, and the remaining $565,000 will be funded through the City’s General Infrastructure Reserve.

Phase 2 Marler Drive Reconstruction Project

Project Summary

Beginning May 5, 2025, and going through until September, Marler Drive, from Mt. Pleasant Drive to 65 Street, 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 most of the 2025 construction season. Please abide by the construction signage as contractors diligently work to complete this project.

May 7 Project Update:

The closure of Marler Drive from the west side of Mt. Pleasant Drive to the east side of 65 Street has been extended until the end of the day on May 8. Then, starting May 9, Marler Drive will be closed from Mt. Pleasant Drive to the east side of 63 Street until September.

Additional closures may be required as the reconstruction project progresses. If possible, we recommend that through traffic avoid this area entirely.

Please follow all construction signage as contractors work to complete this important project. Thank you for your patience.

Rudy Swanson Park North Reservoir Roof Replacement

Project Details

The City of Camrose is replacing the structure on top of an existing drinking water reservoir, located within Rudy Swanson Park. The existing reservoir was constructed in 1983. The roof structure (including waterproofing membrane) is original to the facility, and is approaching the end of its useful life. This project will include the removal of the existing roof structure and membrane, and the installation of a new membrane, insulation and roof structure. The project will help protect the City’s treated drinking water supply from potential contamination.

Area Impacted
Construction will take place on the north treated water reservoir, located within the Rudy Swanson Recreational Park, south of 44 Avenue and west of 55 Street.

Tentative Schedule

• April 8, 2024 – April 20, 2024 – Tree pruning and limited tree removal; install protection measures around remaining trees.
