WEYBURN — Two public notices were issued by the City of Weyburn on Friday afternoon in regard to the road construction project on First Avenue.
There was an update about access to the Weyburn General Hospital, which will be temporarily impacted during construction.
While certain entrances to the hospital parking lot will be closed as construction reaches certain points, there will always be at least one entrance available to the hospital.
From the south, access is available via Second and Fourth Streets, while from the north, residents should use Windsor Street to access the hospital.
The City advises residents to use caution when driving near the construction site, as the safety of drivers and construction workers is a priority.
For updates about the construction project, contact the City’s engineering department at 306-848-3230.
The second notice is in regard to the removal or tampering of construction signs.
These signs play a vital role in ensuring the safety of the public and of the construction workers, by providing necessary guidance and information around the construction zones.
“Construction signs are not merely suggestions, they are crucial safety tools, and removing or tampering with these signs can lead to serious consequences, including vehicle and property damage, personal injuries and delays in construction projects,” said Kevin Linnen, public works superintendent.
“We urge all residents to respect these signs and report any instances of removal or tampering immediately,” he added.
To report the removal or tampering of construction zone signs, call the public works department at 306-848-3290.
