Street Improvements

The Street Improvement Program is an annual program completed by the City of Lloydminster, in conjunction with a selected contractor, intended for replacing, upgrading, or expanding through new construction, surface infrastructure throughout our community to ensure the serviceability and longevity of our transportation system is maintained.

Due to factors such as the age, condition, and deterioration of the existing surface works infrastructure, the City of Lloydminster must continually rehabilitate or replace the existing infrastructure (i.e., asphalt concrete pavement, concrete curb and gutter, and sidewalks) to maintain adequate levels of service for residents and businesses throughout the city. In addition to rehabilitation work, the Street Improvement Program also aims to expand and develop new surface works infrastructure to accommodate the community’s growth, changing traffic patterns, or addressing network capacity issues

Project Scope

The Street Improvement Program typically consists of various locations around the City of Lloydminster, with the rehabilitation component of the work in these locations typically being comprised of:

  • Miscellaneous concrete curb and gutter and concrete sidewalk repairs
  • Landscaping repair of affected areas
  • Milling existing roadway surfaces
  • Miscellaneous roadway patching, repairs, and placement of levelling course
  • Placement of hot-mix asphalt concrete pavement overlays
  • Painted or inlaid thermoplastic pavement markings
  • Miscellaneous concrete sidewalk and walking trail rehabilitation

The program includes various safety improvements, including the implementation of improved crosswalks through upgraded pavement markings and signage including the potential installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons. Most of these safety improvements focus on school and playground zones and pedestrian safety.

The Street Improvement Program maximizes public benefit by rehabilitating existing infrastructure, improving safety at our numerous crossings, and expanding our trail and roadway networks. Along with rehabilitation, the program expands on and develops new infrastructure, including walking trails and sidewalks, roadways, and turn bays.

Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to adhere to all posted signage and travel through the area cautiously as routes will be monitored for continuous flow of traffic and adjustments may be made throughout the construction zone without notice. The safety of our contractors, City of Lloydminster employees, as well as the public is paramount.

Detour Routes and Road Restrictions

The Street Improvement Program is a dynamic program whereby construction activities may be progressing in several locations within the City of Lloydminster simultaneously. Construction locations undergo several different construction phases and may require varying levels of road restrictions or closures to accommodate the construction. For example, road removals, paving and overlaying of asphalt, concrete curb and gutter construction etc.

During construction, and given the dynamic nature of the program, motorists are asked to follow all posted signage to ensure the safety of all road users and construction personnel, as the signage will accommodate the construction activities for the day.

Access to properties will be maintained as much as possible throughout construction. Depending on the scope of the work on certain roadways, access may be intermittently limited. Notice regarding access will be given before construction to those directly affected.

Not all roadways adjacent to the construction zone will be posted for detour routes. Instead, only major roadways leading to the construction zone will be posted to limit signage congestion and potentially conflicting route signage.

  • How long is construction expected to last?

    Construction is expected to begin in May of the project year and last for approximately five months, weather depending. Individual parts may not require the entire five months of duration to complete construction.

    Notices regarding construction phases and timelines will be distributed to those directly impacted before construction begins.

  • Will I be able to park on the street during construction?

    On-street parking may be available depending on the scope of the work and what phase of construction the roadway is under. As required, “No Parking” signs will be placed on the adjacent boulevard the night before the worksite is scheduled to start. Residents within the work zone are required to move from the construction area until project completion or otherwise directed.

    Notices regarding construction phases and timelines will be distributed to those directly impacted before construction begins. The notices will address any special provisions regarding parking. 

  • Will pedestrian access through the construction site be available?
    No. “Sidewalk Closed” signs and other pedestrian signage, as required, to direct pedestrians away from the construction zone. Pedestrians and other road users are reminded to adhere to all applicable signage for their own and workers’ safety.

  • How will garbage be collected if the road is closed?

    Garbage collection will operate in a modified manner. Residents are asked to place their carts and recyclables at the curb on their regular collection day. If collection vehicles cannot access the roadway, the City of Lloydminster, in conjunction with the selected contractor, will co-ordinate a designated pickup spot. The selected contractor will relocate all carts and return the carts to their respective properties. Residents in the affected area will be notified of any changes to service. 

  • Is mail delivery and courier services affected?
    No. The sidewalks will remain operational throughout the project. Mail courier services are notified of the road closure, and delivery delivery should proceed as normal.

  • Will my landscaping be affected?
    As part of the project, various curb, gutter, and sidewalk sections will be removed and replaced. Existing landscaping and vegetation adjacent to the excavation will be removed during the excavation. The City of Lloydminster will work with the selected contractor to restore any disturbed areas to pre-construction conditions.

  • Will access to my property be maintained throughout construction?
    The City of Lloydminster strives to maintain access to all properties throughout construction. However, localized sections of curb and gutter adjacent to driveway aprons may need to be replaced during construction. If this happens, you may have restricted/no access to your property via your driveway apron to allow the newly poured concrete proper time to cure. Additional notices will be delivered to the property owner before this work starts. The City of Lloydminster and the selected contractor will work with you throughout this process to ensure the disruption in property access is minimal.
