Local Drainage Improvements
The City of Calgary is investing in upgrades to water infrastructure to enhance the safety of residents and businesses around Blackburn Road and 36h Avenue SE, and to protect vulnerable areas from damage caused by stormwater.
The Local Drainage Improvements (LDI) Program aims to better manage stormwater and avoid pooling of stormwater and snowmelt. These improvements include the installation of additional storm pipes and storm drains, surface regrading and upgrading existing infrastructure to increase the flow of water into the stormwater management system.
Construction impacts in the area:
Construction will start at Blackburn RD & 36 AVE SE on May 30th, and will continue until June 4th, 2022.
The intersection at Blackburn RD SE & 36 AVE SE will be closed.
Detours and parking restrictions will be in place for the duration. (Please see Figure below.)
For safety, the worksite will be barricaded during construction.
All construction is weather dependent. Timelines may change due to weather and/or other unexpected circumstances
