NORTH BATTLEFORD — A six-week detour to access the City of North Battleford's Waste Management Facility (WMF) is starting on July 4 as construction begins.
According to the city, the necessary repair and rehabilitation to Wearing Road, barring any major weather or construction delays, should take about six weeks. During the construction period, hours of operation at the WMF will not be impacted.
The City of North Battleford asks that motorists please follow the detour route as marked and requests that all posted signage or temporary speed limit restrictions are obeyed in the interest of safety.
The detour is as follows:
- Instead of accessing the WMF via Wearing Road from Territorial Drive, motorists will instead continue down Territorial Drive, turning left onto to Highway 16, before turning left onto Highway 40 and travelling past the Ag Society Grounds.
- Motorists will then turn left onto Range Road 3162, travelling until they encounter the intersection of Wearing Road, making a left turn, and then turning right onto the Waste Management Facility access road.
- Motorists travelling west on Wearing Road towards the City of North Battleford will be directed south at Range Road 3162 to Highway 40.
"Advance notice has been communicated to residents in this area and to any contractors whose access to the WMF will be altered during this construction period," reads a June 20 release from the city.
The City of North Battleford extends its gratitude to the RM of North Battleford 437 for working with administration to determine alternative access to its WMF while upgrades take place.
The City apologizes for any inconvenience this disruption may cause and appreciates the patience of the general public at this time.
