Temporary changes to intersections on Jennifer Heil Way starting July 4

Starting on or about July 4, four intersections along Jennifer Heil Way will be temporarily converted into four-way stops to accommodate the installation of rotatable bases for the north/south poles as part of high-load corridor work.

The impacted intersections will be Nelson Drive, McLeod Avenue, Collector ‘A’ (the intersection between Walmart and the RCMP building) and Highway 16A. The anticipated schedule for each intersection is as follows:

• July 4 – Nelson Drive and Jennifer Heil Way
• July 5 – McLeod Avenue and Jennifer Heil Way
• July 6 – Collector ‘A’ (the road between Walmart and the RCMP building) and Jennifer Heil Way
• July 12-13 – Highway 16A and Jennifer Heil Way

Crews are planning to start work after the morning rush hour to help limit disruption. Traffic lights will be off at each intersection, which will be treated as a four-way stop. Each intersection will be reduced to only one left turn lane and one straight through lane during this time.

The work at each intersection will last approximately one day except for the intersection at Highway 16A and Jennifer Heil Way, which is expected to last two days. This intersection will also have flag people on site to assist traffic flow and traffic lights will come back on for the overnight period.

Motorists may want to consider alternate routes during this work. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience as construction progresses.
