Overnight Lanes Closures for Detection Loop Installation – 83 Street Between Argyll Road and 76 Avenue
June 22, 2020 – Starting on or about June 29, 2020 crews will be installing Detection Loops on 83 Street from Argyll Road to 76 Avenue. Detection loops are cut into the road and connected to the traffic cabinet. When a vehicle drives over the loop, or stops on the loop, it will activate the traffic changes. This overnight work will occur from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and is expected to last five nights.
To accommodate this work, the northbound lane will be closed to traffic between Argyll Road and 76 Avenue, from June 29 – July 1. The southbound lane of 83 Street from 76 Avenue to Argyll Road will be closed to traffic July 2 and 3. Flaggers will be on hand to assist motorists.
There will be noise associated with this work such as saw cutting and small machinery moving. In order to not interrupt traffic during the day, crews will have to perform this work during night hours, however, they will endeavor to complete the noisiest work early in the evening.
To accommodate this work, the public will be impacted in the following areas:
- Closure of the northbound lane on 83 Street from Argyll Road to 76 Avenue June 29 – July 1.
- Closure of the southbound lane on 83 Street from 76 Avenue and Argyll Road July 2 & 3.
- There will be overnight noise associated with this work, primarily saw cutting.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained.
- Flaggers will be on hand to assist traffic.
During this time please watch for, and follow, all traffic detours and direction of construction personnel.
TransEd is committed to following all City of Edmonton bylaws and regulations and has obtained an overnight roadwork permit so that work can take place during nighttime hours in order to minimize major daytime traffic disruptions. *City of Edmonton Bylaw C14600.
We ask for your understanding and patience as construction progresses.
