A large paving project on Broadway Ave. N in Melfort will take place this week.

As a result of the work, the road will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians from Saskatchewan Drive W. to McDonald Ave. starting on Monday.

Brent Lutz with the City said crews are working in several different areas at this time.

“We are also resurfacing the trails throughout the city so as crews are working on the walking paths, certain areas will be closed to traffic,” Lutz said.

The paving crews are busy with repairing patches throughout the community over the next coming weeks as well.

“Other crews around town are also working on sidewalks and water line replacements,” Lutz said.

Lutz reminded the public to watch for workers and follow detour signs.

The rehabilitation of Broadway Ave. N. is funded by the city’s Infrastructure Replacement Fund and Municipal Economic Enhancement Program (MEEP) 2020.

The work is expected to be complete by Sept. 15, weather permitting.
