Project Update – May 25, 2020
Dust Mitigation
We understand dust is a concern for residents living next to the construction area. Dust monitoring and mitigation is ongoing, but residents should expect increased dust.
The construction season in Alberta is short and there is a significant amount of work to be completed over the next few months. Thank you for your patience.
