Highway 1 resurfacing through Duncan begins June 24

Highway 1 and 18 resurfacing improvements will begin in Duncan this week, improving safety and efficiency for travellers and the movement of goods.

Highway 1 northbound from Miller Road to Drinkwater Road will be resurfaced, while the northbound segment from Drinkwater Road to Mays Road will receive patch repairs.

Highway 18 between Highway 1 and Somenos Road will also be resurfaced. Work on this portion is expected to run from June 24 to the end of July. Single-lane alternating traffic will be in place for the duration of this portion of the project.

Work starts on Highway 1 in July, with crews on site from 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. to minimize traffic disruption. One lane will remain open in both directions throughout the project to maintain traffic flow. Minor delays of five to 10 minutes should be expected while equipment is maneuvered into place.

This nearly $6.5-million project is expected to be complete by fall 2022.

Drivers are reminded to slow down to construction zone speed limits and follow the direction of traffic-control personnel.
