    • Lane closures will happen during the day. We will let you know ahead of time.
    • Pathway and concrete work: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., weekdays
    • Pathway and concrete work: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekends
    • Paving: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends
  • Work hours: For all construction activities, working hours will generally be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends

About the project

As part of a continuing program of major road restoration, The City is planning to complete pavement rehabilitation and road reconstruction on Memorial Drive E. from 36 Street S.E. to Marlborough Way/ 39 Street and 36 Street S.E. from Memorial Drive E. to 8 Avenue S.E. Multiple sections of the roadway show excessive distress, various cracking patterns and severity that have affected pavement performance. 

This project will improve roadway operation, surface characteristics, and help to ensure the road continues to be safe, functional and in great condition for years to come. These upgrades will bring the road up to modern standards, improve traffic flow, enhance safety and pavement performance while improving connections for pedestrians and cyclists.

Budget

The construction budget for this project is $6 million.

Project details

The project will include:

  • Full pavement reconstruction for Memorial Drive E. westbound lanes
  • Mill and Inlay (120mm) for Memorial Drive E. eastbound lanes
  • Mill and Inlay (100mm) for 36 Street S.E. roadway
  • Removal and replacement of damaged curbs, sidewalks, medians and islands, and wheelchair ramps
  • Various safety improvements on Memorial Drive and traffic signal relocations at the Memorial Drive E./ 39 Street S.E. and 36 Street S.E./ Radcliffe Drive S.E. intersections
