As everyone is aware, construction on Phase I of Wetaskiwin's Main Street Revitalization is underway (please visit www.wetaskiwin.ca for road closure information). While we wait for further project details to share, we thought you would like to see the graphic renderings of what our fully revitalized main street is expected to look like.
We love the turning lanes (the rest of it is pretty slick, too). What are you excited for?
Kevin Lucas, Manager of Recreation with the City of Wetaskiwin, is pleased to provide the public with an update on our Wetaskiwin Regional Aquatics & Fitness Centre (AFC)!
"To date we are on schedule and very happy with the build. PCL is keeping the site clean and limiting the traffic entering the west gate. Steve from PCL noted he has had several opportunities to share with people what they are doing. The construction team is hoping to be at ground level within a month (weather pending)."
Here are some photos of the construction so far:
