Sherwood Park residents should expect some heavy construction on Oak Street next month.
Strathcona County recently announced that extensive work to rehabilitate the street will begin in July.
"As part of the annual Residential Road Rehabilitation program, Strathcona County will be making improvements to Oak Street (Vic Bidzinski Way), between Beauvista Drive and the Kinsmen Leisure Centre," said the county in a release.
Construction will occur in two phases, first focusing on spot concrete replacement before moving into improvements to the asphalt road.
There will also be some additions to the road to help calm traffic in the area.
"Four raised crosswalks and one speed hump will be added to address speeding concerns, reduce short-cutting and support pedestrian safety."
"Raised crosswalks create an elevated walking surface that improves the visibility of pedestrians and encourages drivers to slow down."
The county is warning residents in the area to expect some temporary parking restrictions during construction and that access to driveways could be limited.
To make sure nobody is caught off-guard by these changes, the county will be putting up 'no parking' signs 24 hours before the start of construction.
"Access to facilities along Oak Street will be maintained during construction, but occasional detours will be required."
Here is a detailed map of the work that is planned:
