The first phase of construction at 4th St. N is well underway and ahead of schedule, according to the City of Cranbrook.
The removal of existing concrete and asphalt, water main tie-in on Victoria Ave. and replacing the sanitary sewer mains and services is already complete.

Work has begun for the Wildstone PRV replacement project, with underground piping installed with new building feeds, and the foundation for the new building will get underway soon. The date for commissioning the new PRV is being finalized, however, affected residents will be notified well in advance of any shutdowns.
Elsewhere in the city, BA Blacktop has been awarded a $723,776 contract for repaving sections of Larch Drive, Slater Rd., 12th St. N and Willowbrook Drive, which should get started by late May or early June. BA Blacktop was the successful bidder against Okanagan Aggregate, as the two bids came within $20,000 of each other.
For the Mount Royal phase two rehabilitation project, BA Blacktop is locking to mobilize by mid-May.
Additionally, full reconstruction work had been planned for a section of 12th Ave S, between 2nd St. and 3rd St., however, it has been postponed for the future due to rising cost pressures.
