Two businesses in Edmonton's Belgravia neighbourhood say sales have recently fallen by as much as 50 per cent. They blame an apartment construction project on their street.

Downtown construction has been a traffic frustration for Edmontonians for a while. But one main route, 107 Avenue, was a saving grace to get in and out of the core — until now.

Shortly after 8 a.m. on Friday, the Edmonton Police Service said it had reopened Whitemud Drive in both directions.

The RCMP in the Edmonton area issued an overnight warning, advising the public to stay off the roads unless travel is necessary.

The collision on the Sherwood Park Freeway happened at the 34 Street overpass and led to delays and closures on Tuesday.

The reactor was 9.8 metres wide, 9.3 metres high and 141 metres long and required several heavy duty semi-trucks to push and pull the convoy.

If Edmontonians see someone sheltering outside, city officials ask that they call 211 immediately and ask for the crisis diversion team

The water main break happened as Edmonton continues to experience a mild start to January.

Of the 92 active construction projects across Edmonton in 2024, 36 involved transportation, 26 were facilities, six involved the LRT and 24 were work on open spaces like parks.

Police said officers were called to a collision in the area of 107th Avenue and 130th Street at about 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.
