PRINCE GEORGE—Beginning May 13, a portion of 7th Avenue will be closed to traffic for a month as crews from the city work on the watermain.

The workzone will be between Alward Street and Mcbride Crescent, plus a section of Laurier Crescent between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue.

The project will increase low fire hydrant flow pressure in the area, support future developments, and increase the reliability of the water system.

Budgeted at $750,000, the project will be funded through the Water Distribution System Renewal and Water Distribution System New Budget.

The City of Prince George is asking people to exercise caution in and around the work zone and pay attention to signage and direction from construction crews. They add that drivers should use alternate routes during construction
