SUNDRE – A significant change to the flow of traffic on Centre Street and the Highway 27-Main Avenue corridor in Sundre has been announced as work continues to complete underground infrastructure upgrades on the east side of town.
In a May 22 statement posted on the Town od Sundre's website and social media, the municipality advised motorists to “prepare for delays crossing the Red Deer River bridge and accessing downtown, as underground utility work moves eastward.”
The latest change has resulted in Centre Street South being closed off and rendered inaccessible from the intersection with Highway 27-Main Avenue, also known as the Cowboy Trail.
The traffic lights at that intersection have also been turned off while a temporary set of trailer-mounted traffic lights were placed just east of the intersection.
Drivers are informed that for the time being, there will be no southbound or left turns onto Centre Street for any westbound traffic on the highway. Furthermore,in the interim there will be no access to the highway from Centre Street South.
Additionally, southbound motorists coming in from Centre Street North will for now be unable to turn right, or west, onto the Highway 27-Main Avenue corridor.
Alternate routes to access the main corridor have instead been opened up at the intersections of 3rd and 4th Streets.
