The 116 Avenue upgrades for 2024 have been completed, enhancing safety, efficiency and longevity as part of the City of Grande Prairie’s ongoing commitment to improving vital infrastructure.
This year’s construction on 116 Avenue was part of a multi-phase project aimed at addressing aging infrastructure and enhancing traffic flow.
The section of road, originally part of Highway 43 (known as the bypass), was transferred to the City in September 2019 along with $20 million in provincial funding, which has been strategically allocated for necessary repairs and upgrades. As a key truck and dangerous goods route, 116 Avenue handles a significant volume of traffic, making these improvements critical for both local and commercial users.
Looking forward to 2025, the City is currently carrying out condition assessments on sections of 100 Avenue, west of 124 Street to the west city limits, to determine staging and phasing of future work, ensuring that the upgrades meet long-term community needs.
