Rodeo Drive (Highway 53) Construction Update

Crews will begin milling and paving today (Monday, June 8) on Rodeo Drive (Highway 53) at the 46 Street intersection, resulting in temporary traffic disruptions.

Motorists and pedestrians are asked to use caution around construction and please take alternate routes where possible. Please be mindful of all road signs and traffic safety personnel.

Traffic flow on Rodeo Drive will be maintained with at least one lane of traffic open in both directions at all times. During construction, the speed limit will remain at 50 km/h along the corridor unless otherwise posted.
