Highway 899 road work south of Empress to Highway 41

The pre-construction meeting is now completed and engineers are anticipating initial preparatory work will get going September 11 or shortly thereafter. The millings will be going to a MD of Acadia owned gravel pit located north of the river, roughly 3 km west of the intersection of Highways 562 & 899.  Paving operations will be commencing approximately September 19, and estimated to take 6 or 7 days. The engineers will keep the Village of Empress Administration apprised of any further updates.

A construction notice bulletin will be compiled in the next week or so by the engineers (Morrison Hershfield), that we will be distributed to Village of Empress residents, business owners, and any other interested parties, to help ensure that everyone is as informed as possible. The Village of Empress thanks you for your continued patience.
