Road construction begins at St. Anne and Perron Street

Detours for public transit Routes A1 and A11 in effect until June 3

This article has been updated with further information from the City of St. Albert

Construction work to replace underground infrastructure at the intersection of St. Anne and Perron Street began June 1. 

Work is expected to take two weeks, weather permitting, according to the City of St. Albert.

The project includes the replacement of four water main valves and the rehabilitation of two manholes. 

The underground work is being done within the city's approved Utilities 2020 Water/Wastewater Infrastructure Repair, Maintain and Capital Budgets. It's expected to cost between $60,000 and $70,000, pending ground and infrastructure conditions, according to the city. 

A worker with Jaguar Water & Sewer Services Ltd. told the Gazette their team will be on site Monday through Friday. 

During construction, traffic is reduced to one lane coming up to Perron Street from St. Anne Street. 

After the underground utility work is done, the next phase of the project will include the rehabilitation of the surface roadwork and repaving of the disturbed area.

Due to the road construction on Perron Street, public transit riders on A1 and A11 routes will take a detour route from June 1 to June 3. 

Route A11 will only be affected on route to Village Transit Station and will be unable to service Perron Street. Instead, the bus will continue down St. Anne Street before turning on to Sir Winston Churchill Avenue. 

Route A1 will only be affected on route to St. Albert Centre Exchange and will be unable to service the seven bus stops on Mission Avenue and St. Vital Avenue. 

Instead of turning on to Perron Street, the bus will continue along St. Anne Street and up the St. Albert Trail before connecting to Rivercrest Crescent and down to the St. Albert Centre Exchange. This detour follows a similar path to routes A4 and A5.
