The following is a release from the City of Swift Current:

Following an update of the 2nd Avenue Overpass rehabilitation project, provided to the City of Swift Current by Graham Construction, the City wishes to advise residents that the previously set, tentative completion date of September 30th will not be met.

Graham Construction continues to struggle to meet target dates and has now missed three deadlines during this project. As such, and out of respect for the public, the City will not state another tentative completion date. The project is close to completion, and we look forward to a functional bridge in the near future.

The City will continue to collect liquidated damages as a result of the delays, and we continue to work with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways to ensure that the planned work on Memorial Drive is not commenced until the completion of the 2nd Avenue Overpass project.

The City would like to thank residents and motorists for their continued patience.
