County road closures

County of Grande Prairie temporarily closing two roads starting Thursday

Jul 15, 2020 | 4:14 PM

Starting Thursday, July 16, the County of Grande Prairie will temporarily close a section of Township Road 711 (also known as Spring Creek Road) for repairs.

The County says that due to heavy spring flooding, work on the base of the road is required to return it to drivable conditions when swamp mats are removed. The project is expected to be complete within the next week.

This same section of road was closed for a few months last year after repeated wet spring seasons resulted in a slumping slope, which made the road and bridge unstable.

Motorists that are impacted can detour using Range Road 71, Township Road 712, Range Road 73 and Township Road 710.

Also on Thursday, Township Road 712 from Range Road 90 to Range Road 91 will be closed to change a cross culvert. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the day Thursday.
