Earlier this morning, the City of Swift Current released an update on the 2nd Avenue Overpass Rehabilitation Project.

According to the release, it has been determined that the September 16th completion date will not be met and the new end date is scheduled for September 30th.

Following consultation with their Engineering/Project Consultant and Project Construction Contractor, it was determined the weather delays made the September 16th goal unattainable.

As the project continues to develop, the city did release a tentative schedule for the next twenty-four days:

  • September 6 – 12: Form and pour the East side traffic barrier
  • September 12 – 26: Complete deck demolition; placement / curing of concrete overlay
  • September 26 – 30: Waterproofing, paving and preparation for traffic
  • September 30: Open to vehicle traffic

The overpass has been closed to vehicle traffic since May 2nd.
