Range Road reconstruction to begin

The City’s contractor, Norcope Enterprises is preparing to recommence road work on Range Road in order to finish the Takhini Sanitary Trunk Main project.

The work will happen in phases to limit the impacts on road users.

Phase 1: Starting Saturday May 11, access to University Drive will only be available via Two Mile Hill.

Phase 2: Once the first phase of work is complete (date to be determined), access to University Drive will only be available via Mountain View Drive until completion.

The estimated total project duration is eight to nine weeks. Throughout the project, access to Takhini Elementary School will be only available via Two Mile Hill. No through traffic will be available between Two Mile Hill and Mountain View via Range Road for the duration of the work.

Transit services in the area will also be rerouted and transit riders should plan accordingly. Routes 5 and 402 will be impacted and transit users in Whistle Bend are asked to take Route 401 to Yukon University throughout both phases. Updated schedules are at whitehorse.ca/transit.

A dedicated pedestrian and cyclist path will be provided in the boulevard on the west side of Range Road to allow pedestrian and cyclist access between University Drive and Mountain View Drive.

We appreciate the public’s patience and understanding as we complete this important project.
