A stretch of Calgary’s popular 17 Avenue will be closed to all traffic starting Thursday morning at 9 a.m., and the closure will continue through the weekend.
The City of Calgary closed 17 Avenue S.W. between Second and Fourth Streets effective Thursday morning to repair sanitary services.
“A full road closure will be in place while work is underway, however, all businesses and residences will remain accessible for local traffic via 4 Street S.W.,” the city said in a notice to area businesses.
The roadway and south sidewalk of 17 Avenue S.W. will be closed to traffic, parking and pedestrians, but the north sidewalk will remain open.
A detour will be available for businesses and residences on the south side of the avenue.
Traffic will be diverted to 15 Avenue and 18 Avenue S.W., restricting parking on the north sides of both avenues.
The city expects there will be no disruptions to sanitary or water services while the work is being done.
