Town of Sundre

With several major milestones now behind us, construction crews are making steady progress across the corridor. From paving to concrete work, activity remains high in multiple areas as we continue to move closer to project completion. Thank you for staying informed and navigating safely around the construction zone.

Progress to date:

• Bridge area: Milling is now complete on both the east and west sides of the bridge.
• Centre Street: Curb and gutter have been poured from Centre Street to the gas station, and the base lift of asphalt has been placed in the south lane.
• 2nd Street (north side): Crews poured the curbs for the mini roundabout, median island, and sidewalks. Sidewalk and curb forming is complete from near Subway to 2nd Street.
• 3rd Street (south side): The base lift of asphalt has been placed. Decorative concrete has been poured, and patterned concrete is formed and ready.
• 4th Street (north side): Patterned concrete is formed and ready to pour. The base asphalt is down, and the apron and sidewalk at the Sundre Car & Truck Wash are formed and ready for concrete.
• Highway 27 (general): All electrical work has been tied in and is ready to be energized.

What’s coming in the next two weeks:

• Northwest side of bridge: Crews will be removing and replacing the road structure on the northwest side of the bridge next week, followed by curb and gutter work and placement of two asphalt layers toward the end of July.
• Northeast side of bridge: Curb and gutter will be formed and poured toward the middle of the month, and the old steel barrier will be replaced with a new one.
• 2nd Street (south side): Crews will be installing street signs and railing, and completing landscaping along the slope near Burger Baron by the end of next week.
• 2nd Street (north side): Crews are completing curb, sidewalk, and patterned concrete pours this coming week, with base asphalt placement expected shortly after.
• 3rd Street (south side): Pouring of decorative concrete will take place next week.
• 4th Street (north side): Pouring of patterned concrete will take place next week.
• Highway 27: Final paving between the creek and bridge is scheduled to take place toward the end of the month. Please expect delays in this area while the work is underway.

🚨 Reminder: Temporary Vehicle Size Restrictions Coming Soon

Starting July 14, for a period of two weeks, temporary size restrictions will apply to oversized vehicles through the project area:

• Max width: 4.45m
• Track width limit: 3.8m
• Vehicles over 4.45m will need an alternate route.
• Vehicles between 3.8–4.45m must meet clearance requirements and travel overnight (3:00–5:00 am) with 48 hours’ notice. Contact PME: Shane Gilmour (587-224-9395) or Shelby Evans (587-783-6881).

As always, we’re working hard to minimize disruption while completing as much work as possible in the coming weeks. We appreciate your ongoing patience and attention to posted signage, lane shifts, and detours. We’ll continue to share updates here and at sundre.com/p/hwy-27 as the work progresses.

Thanks to everyone for your continued patience as we move through the busy summer construction season. We’re making great progress on key areas throughout the project, with more visible improvements completed each week.

Progress to date:

• Centre Street: Road structure and curb and gutter have been removed from Centre Street to the gas station on the south side.
• 2nd Street (north side): Grading and formwork for sidewalks, curbs, and gutters are now complete.
• 3rd Street (south side): Approximately 60% of the curb, gutter, and sidewalk concrete has been poured.
• 4th Street (north side): All curbs and sidewalks have been poured, and the mini roundabout has received its coloured concrete finish.

What’s coming next:

• Bridge area: Crews will be grading and placing gravel between Western RV and the bridge this coming week, followed by forming and pouring curb and gutter — some of which will take place at night. Barrier removal, concrete work, and landscaping will wrap up this phase of bridge-area improvements over the next couple of weeks.
• Northwest side of bridge: The existing road structure will be removed and replaced. Crews will then grade and prepare for curb and gutter installation.
• 2nd Street (north side): Work continues with grading and graveling the road surface, along with forming sidewalks, the median island, and mini roundabout. Once complete, concrete pouring will begin for sidewalks, curbs, and mountable curbs.
• 3rd Street: On the south side, crews are pouring coloured and patterned concrete. Signage installation is planned for the north side.
• 4th Street: Sign installation continues on the south side. On the north side, remaining coloured patterned concrete will be poured.
• Highway 27: Final milling is scheduled to take place this coming week, between the east side of the bridge and the creek. Paving and line painting of this stretch of highway is anticipated near the end of the month.

🚨 Reminder: New Vehicle Size Restrictions Coming Soon

Starting mid-July, for a period of two weeks, new size restrictions will apply to oversized vehicles through the project area:

• Max width: 4.45m
• Track width limit: 3.8m
• Vehicles over 4.45m will need an alternate route.
• Vehicles between 3.8–4.45m must meet clearance requirements and travel overnight (3:00–5:00 am) with 48 hours’ notice. Contact PME: Shane Gilmour (587-224-9395) or Shelby Evans (587-783-6881).

Thank you again for your ongoing patience and cooperation. With major components like the bridge open and concrete work nearing completion, we’re making steady progress toward wrapping up construction and restoring full access. We'll continue to keep you informed as we move into the final stages of the project
