Construction on first of City’s 2024 UPAR projects starts Aug. 6

The construction season with respect to the City’s UPAR (Underground Pipe and Asphalt Rehabilitation) program kicks off Tuesday, August 6, 2024. Crews will be working in the Bready Elementary School area for several weeks to complete upgrades.

This project, one of the more significant parts of this year’s UPAR program, will involve a storm line installation, concrete repairs to sidewalks, and milling and paving of the streets. Road closures are expected throughout the project, but the City’s engineering group does not anticipate any lengthy interruptions to water and sewer services for residents.

Residents in this area have received information detailing revised street parking, property access, and garbage collection information, but the City encourages anyone with additional questions or concerns to contact the UPAR line by call or text at 306-441-0359.

To continue providing regular updates to the public about the 2024 UPAR program, the City will begin a series of bi-weekly Zoom meetings beginning Tuesday, August 6th at 1pm. Project timelines and updates will be provided with assistance from the projects’ contractors.

Information about additional 2024 UPAR projects, including upgrades at 101st Street Crescent and lane paving at 91st Street/92nd Street and 18th Avenue/19th Avenue can be found at www.cityofnb.ca/UPAR.
