St. Julien Road Reconstruction - June 3 Update
In the past week, all insertion valves have been installed to completely isolate the old water main. Water main replacement is now underway, with the Wolf Street intersection area complete. A new hydrant at Wolf Street has been installed.
For the week ahead, the water main replacement moves up St. Julien Road. The width of the road way corridor narrows as the work moves uphill towards the large retaining walls. This narrowing will slow down the work, due to the impact on removing soil and adding fill in the reduced space.
Please completely avoid the construction area unless you are a resident of the roadway or visiting a resident.Parks Canada has issued a trail advisory for the lower portion of the Tunnel Mountain Trail, between Tunnel Mountain Drive and the construction site. We are increasing signage and communications to visitor services to redirect hikers away from the construction zone and to the Ken Madsen Path to Banff Centre or via Buffalo Street and Surprise Corner.
