Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project Update

Work Currently Underway:

• The top layer of asphalt in all lanes is complete from the overpass near Soda Creek Road to Highway 97, and crews have begun to re-install the concrete barrier that was moved. Paving is now proceeding south of Soda Creek Road in the southbound lane

• The bottom lift(s) of asphalt is complete in all areas except the section between Highway 97 and Highway 20 (near Borland Road). This area has been milled and is ready for paving.

• Hand grinding of the concrete sections was completed earlier in the week, which was necessary to fine tune the milling done previously. This milling appears to have greatly improved the ride quality of the concrete sections.

• Drainage works and preparation for the mixed-use/bicycle path in the southern portion of Mackenzie are underway and are nearing completion.

• The timing issues with the traffic lights at Frizzi Road appear to be solved. Everything is currently functional, but the intersection will continue to be monitored.
