Winnipeg, MB - Today, the Reenders Drive extension between Stapon Road and Peguis Street opened to traffic.
Following the opening of the Reenders Drive extension today, Almey Avenue will be permanently closed tomorrow, December 4, to vehicle traffic between Ravelston Avenue West and Lagimodiere Boulevard, which is expected to significantly reduce traffic volumes for residents on Almey Avenue.
Almey Avenue will remain open between Peguis Street and Ravelston Avenue West. The Steinbach Credit Union will remain accessible via Lagimodiere Boulevard to Almey Avenue.
Motorists that currently use Almey Avenue to travel to and from Lagimodiere Boulevard are advised to use alternative east/west routes such as Reenders Drive, Regent Avenue or Concordia Avenue to connect with Lagimodiere Boulevard.
A fence in keeping with the design of the neighbourhood will be built during the 2016 construction season. The sidewalk on the north side of Almey Avenue between Ravelston Avenue West and Lagimodiere Boulevard will not be affected by the road closure.
A map outlining the Almey Avenue closure can be found here.
The permanent closure of Almey Avenue west of Ravelston Avenue West, subject to the connection of Reenders Drive to Peguis Street was approved by City Council on July 17, 2013.
