Asphalt milling on 100 St.

Thursday August 3, crews were working along 100 Street from 93 Ave to the Alaska highway, milling the asphalt in preparation for the re-surfacing process.

A machine first rips up the old asphalt and removes it before a crew truck cleans and preps the road so it’s ready when the paving crew arrives to re-surface the road. tbuck@ahnfsj.ca

Kiskatinaw River Bridge update

The Kiskatinaw River Bridge debris is safely being cleared away from the bridge piers - and is expected to finish this summer.

During the spring of 2021, a slide took place at the Kiskatinaw River Bridge, which had impacted the bridge’s structure according to Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. That summer, slope monitoring systems were installed and the ministry geotechnical engineers regularly monitor the area for any movement.

The continued closure of the Bridge is due to the slide remaining active, and the ministry is still monitoring and collecting data.

There is still no date on when it will reopen to the public according to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
