Road Closure

Crescent Acres access impacted as 15th Avenue East closes for roadway rehabilitation

Jul 23, 2026 | 11:20 AM

A major road rehabilitation project will temporarily close a section of 15th Avenue East, significantly impacting traffic access to Prince Albert’s Crescent Acres neighbourhood.

The City of Prince Albert’s Public Works Department announced roadway rehabilitation work will take place on 15th Avenue East between 22nd Street and 28th Street from July 25 to July 31, weather permitting.

The project will include asphalt milling, paving and select concrete repairs along one of the city’s primary arterial roadways.

During construction, 15th Avenue East will be fully closed within the project area. City officials said the closure is necessary to ensure the safety of workers and motorists while allowing crews to complete the rehabilitation work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The closure is expected to have a significant impact on traffic, with Muzzy Drive and Barton Drive serving as the only access points into and out of Crescent Acres during the project.

No on-street parking will be permitted on 15th Avenue East for the duration of the work. The intersection of 15th Avenue East and 28th Street is also expected to remain closed throughout construction.

Primary access to Crescent Acres will be maintained through Muzzy Drive, while Barton Drive will serve as a secondary detour route for local traffic.

Residents should also be aware that driveway access may be temporarily restricted while crews are working directly in front of individual properties. The city noted that exact closure times cannot be provided in advance because of the nature of the construction work.

Motorists are being asked to obey all road closure and detour signage, use caution in residential areas that may experience increased traffic volumes, and respect construction crews and equipment operating in the work zone.

City officials said the project is intended to address surface deterioration and improve the condition of a heavily travelled roadway, resulting in a smoother and safer driving surface for residents and commuters.

The city reminded motorists to avoid entering the work zone for the safety of both workers and the public.
