Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:
Five major paving projects with an estimated value of approximately $550,000 get underway in Quesnel today. The projects are funded through the Quesnel Works: Capital Reinvestment Program.
The paving jobs starting up today include:
. Kinchant Street, from St. Laurent Avenue to Barlow Avenue.
. Barlow Avenue, from the arena to the casino laneway.
. The eastbound lane of the Moffatt Bridge approach, from the bridge to Davie Street.
. Anderson Drive from the Baker Creek Bridge to Wade Avenue.
. Johnston Avenue/North Star Road from Lawlor Drive to the Arts and Recreation Centre.
The City's paving contractor will be milling pavement and then applying fresh asphalt, a process that can take several days for each location.
Many of these jobs are occurring in high-traffic areas; motorists are asked to be patient, obey the directions from flag people, and to consider taking alternate routes wherever possible.
Quesnel Works was created in 2007 as a means to assess infrastructure needs, prioritize reinvestment and set up a reserve for funding infrastructure repair and replacement. Each year, the City places roughly $1 million in the reserve, with a long-term goal
of creating a sustainable infrastructure replacement reserve.
