Strathcona County is upgrading Township Road 560 to a Class I road from Range Road 214 to approximately 1,200 metres east.
The upgrades will provide a safe and sustainable roadway to help support current and future traffic and will tie into the improvements completed on Township Road 560 in 2018.
Proposed upgrades include:
- Widening the current 6.5 metre roadway to a 10 metre roadway (3.5 metre wide lanes and 1.5 metre wide shoulder)
- Improving the roadway to a hot-mix asphalt surface
- Providing gentler ditch side slopes, where possible
- Improving the road profile to prevent future road closures due to spring flooding
