PRINCE GEORGE — The City of Prince George will be conducting an emergency water service repair at the former Crossroads location, requiring the closure of 5th Avenue between George Street and Queensway today (Jan.20).

City crews have identified an active water leak and must excavate the area to allow the repairs to take place in order to prevent further infrastructure damage, potential roadway failure, and service disruptions to surrounding properties.

Water service to affected properties will be temporarily shut off beginning at 9:30 a.m. All impacted properties have been notified.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area and drive with caution near the work zone. The City says it appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as crews respond to this urgent infrastructure issue.
