Alberta Transportation has released it’s three year plan for construction projects. The Drumheller has two projects on the list.
In the next three years, Highway 10 and the Three Hills Creek bridge on Highway 837 are scheduled for maintenance.
Highway 10, east of Drumheller, is scheduled to have a preservation overlay placed over the existing road surface for 23 kms.
The overlay is simply another layer of asphalt to preserve the highway. Consultants have yet to determine the thickness of the overlay.
The second project is to rehabilitate the bridge that crosses Three Hills Creek on Highway 837, 9 kms northwest of Drumheller.
Both projects are unlikely to proceed during 2012 and will go ahead in either 2013 or later.
“Until we get to the stage where it’s tendered, we don’t really know any kind of timelines,” said Russ Watts, with Alberta Transportation.
A project further afield include a preservation overlay over Highway 21, between Highways 582 and north of 583. Like the two aforementioned projects, it has yet to have a timeline.
