It’s been a traffic nuisance in south Edmonton for months but on Tuesday, EPCOR confirmed it has now completed its repair work on Allendale Road after a large hole under the pavement was discovered last summer.
“We have now completed our work on Allendale Road,” Kelly Struski, a spokesperson for EPCOR, said in an email to Global News. “The city will be paving the area and once paving is complete, all lanes will be reopened.”

Work on the cavity, located at the busy intersection of Allendale Road and Calgary Trail, was delayed in the winter months because of bitterly cold weather and “difficult ground conditions.”
