PRINCE GEORGE – Upgrades have been announced by the Province to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety on Central Street West and Highway 97 in Prince George. The improvements are expected to cost $400,000 and will take place between 5th Avenue and 10th Avenue.
Work will include closing access from the north end of Central Street West to 5th Avenue and a new sidewalk. An off-ramp with an extended right-turn lane will replace the current right-in/right-out access to Spruceland Mall. Just south of 8th Avenue, a new on-ramp onto Highway 97 will be built along with the dismantling of the right-in/right-out highway access just north of 10th Avenue.
The project is expected to begin later this month and completed in October. Motorists can expect minor closures and traffic delays with detour signs in place for alternate routes. Accessing businesses on Central Street West will remain open during construction.
