Project Overview The Downtown Intensification Storm Tunnel (DTI) project is part of the Capital City Downtown Plan (CCDP). With the increased density in downtown Edmonton (new condominiums, office towers and the arena district), there is a need to upgrade the stormwater system, including the construction of a new storm tunnel. What’s happening? The crews have completed 26m of the 27m deep excavation for the access shaft on 105 Street, just north of the alley between the 10405 Jasper Avenue building and the ATCO building. Once the access shaft is completed, tunneling will continue along 105 Street past Jasper Avenue. Schedule There has been a slight delay with the access shaft excavation due to the rain in recent weeks; however, the project is still on schedule to be completed by December 2018. Until mid-July - While the access shaft is being drilled, the typical hours of construction will be Monday to Saturday starting at 6:00am and ending at 3:00am. Mid-July – late August - Once tunneling has resumed, there will be continuous work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Late August – December 2018 - when tunneling is complete, manholes will be installed within the shafts, and the shafts will be backfilled. The typical hours of construction will be Monday to Saturday 7:00am – 7:00pm. All affected landscaping, pavements, sidewalks, and alleyways will be restored to their original condition. Restorations will be completed between June and September, as weather permits. Permanent road and surface restoration will be scheduled and completed by the City of Edmonton. EPCOR will do everything possible to manage the noise associated with the construction. We will work to ensure that the construction is completed within the requirements of the City of Edmonton Noise Bylaw. Traffic accommodation The traffic disruption on 105 Street south of Jasper Avenue will continue to be: • 105 Street southbound will be closed from Jasper Avenue to the alley between the Academy Dental building and First Class Cleaners. • Northbound traffic on 105 Street will be reduced to one lane from approximately 100m south of Jasper Avenue to Jasper Avenue. • No parking along the east and west curb lanes of 105 Street from Jasper Avenue to approximately 100m south of Jasper Avenue. • Left turn from 105 Street northbound onto Jasper Avenue heading westbound will remain open. Safety The construction areas will be fenced and/or marked as restricted areas. We will take every precaution to ensure public safety. We also need your assistance in keeping children and pets a safe distance from the construction site and the equipment. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue this necessary work. Who do I contact for more information?
