DEWDNEY CONSTRUCTION UPDATES

CURRENT ONGOING CONSTRUCTION

PHASE 1B

  • The City of Regina is continuing work on the Dewdney Avenue Corridor Revitalization Project. The two‑year major construction project between Albert Street and Broad Street will help create a more vibrant community through the replacement of aging underground infrastructure, a new road surface, widened sidewalks, improved lighting, multi-purpose outdoor spaces, and landscaping. It will transform this section of Dewdney Avenue into a more aesthetically pleasing corridor for the public to enjoy with improved pedestrian and driver safety.

    Starting the week of July 8, the City of Regina moves closer to the revitalization of Dewdney Avenue with the next construction phase. Phase 1B primarily involves the installation of underground wastewater and stormwater infrastructure between Hamilton Street and Broad Street. This phase is expected to be completed in 4-6 weeks, weather-dependent.

    Residents/business owners can expect the following:

    · A temporary sewer bypass pumping system to be installed along Dewdney Ave to maintain existing wastewater service levels in the area throughout construction. Short-duration sewer disruptions (≈ 4 hours)for connections to the bypass system are required for services along Dewdney Ave. Advance notice will be provided to impacted residents/businesses.

    · Short-duration water disruptions (≈ 6 hours) required for the replacement of hydrants and watermain upgrades. Advance notice will be provided to impacted residents/businesses.

    · To complete the work safely, road restrictions, road closures, and short-duration sidewalk restrictions will be required. We are committed to minimizing delays in commute times and maintaining pedestrian access to businesses along Dewdney where possible.

    · Parking along Dewdney Avenue will continue to be limited during construction. Drivers can park along the north-south streets throughout the Warehouse District or access free parking available on the Yards site throughout construction.

    · Transit routes along Dewdney Avenue will continue to be temporarily relocated to 8th Avenue during construction. Check TransitLive.com for more information.
