Project Location: North Railway Street (Alberta Avenue to McRae Street)
Type of Work: Hydrovac crews will be working on North Railway Street between Alberta Ave and McRae St to locate existing shallow utilities.
Schedule: December 1-5, weather permitting.
Impacts: Alternating no parking on north and south sides of North Railway Street. Parking spots will re-open as crews progress along the road. Minor pedestrian detours may be required to provide a safe distance between crews and the public.
What to Expect: Construction noise, heavy equipment, crews, no parking in the area.
- There will be no traffic detours or closures of driving lanes. Only parking lanes will be impacted.
- Please use caution in the area and watch for crews and signage.
- As work progresses, surfaces will be restored and parking will be re-opened.
- Some small disturbances to landscaping areas and the road surface will be created. These will be temporarily patched/filled over the winter prior to construction beginning in the spring of 2026.
Why This Work is Happening: Shallow utilities need to be located as preliminary work to prepare for phase 2 of the downtown improvement project which will begin in the spring of 2026. Learn more about the downtown improvement project at https://shapeourtown.okotoks.ca/downtown
