NORTH BATTLEFORD - The City of North Battleford has informed motorists and the general public that the new traffic lights at the entrance point to Sobey's and the Discovery Co-op Mall on Territorial Drive will be operational as of April 6. This development is part of the ongoing Territorial Drive Expansion Project that commenced in September 2022.
The project, which includes lane layout changes, curbing, paving, and enhanced accessibility improvements at the Territorial Drive and 100th Street/Highway four intersection, experienced delays due to contractor unavailability and supply chain issues related to the acquisition of new traffic light implements.
The remaining component of traffic lane marking is expected to be completed by summer.
The Territorial Drive Expansion Project remains on budget as per the 2022 fiscal year, with 85 per cent of the funding, $680,000, being provided through a provincial government grant. The remaining $120,000 is funded through the City of North Battleford's Capital Reserves.
