Two more road projects are underway in the County of Grande Prairie.

Grading work has started on a section of Township Road 730 between Range Roads 63 and 64.

Work there involves digging out the existing road structure to re-align, level and widen the road, then build a new road from scratch.

Crews have also begun will begun base paving work on Range Road 125 from Highway 43 south to the Veresen Plant entrance.

This work is similar to that along Twonship Road 730, which involves digging out the old road, then re-aligning and leveling out the road before widening it and building a new road.

Minor delays can be expected over the duration of both projects, which are expected to be completed in late October but are weather dependent. Speed will be reduced in the construction zones and, at times be reduced to single lane, alternating traffic.

Motorists are advised to obey all signs, and flag persons, exercise extreme caution when travelling through the site and near crews and equipment and allow extra time for travel.
