Road work should be ramping up in the very near future and residents will see work on Hunts Crescent and also near McConkey Park in west Drumheller.
The Town awarded the 2019 Street Improvement Program to T.J Paving for $885,104.27. This bid was approximately $140,000 below the pre-tender estimate. T.J. Paving is based in Red Deer County.
“Our two largest sections are Hunts Crescent. We want to finish that up because we have been doing sections of it for the last several years, and the other large section is on 2nd Avenue West near McConkey Park,” said Dave Brett Director of Infrastructure Services.
The portion of the road near McConkey Park stretches from the former Town Hall, west to 3rd Avenue.
Brett says other areas to be paved will be the loading dock area at the Water Treatment Plant as well as paving the salt shed at the new public works building.
“Currently it (the salt shed) is gravel, so we need to pave that so we don’t have any contamination concerns,” said Brett.
There will also be curb work throughout the Town of Drumheller including areas of Nacmine and Midland, and some work on Alberta Parks trails. The work is to be completed by October 1, according to tender documents.
