You can't get there from here ...

Wherever you travel in Prince Rupert you will find a 
Road Closed sign along the way

From the West side to the East, wherever you travel in Prince Rupert these days, you're likely to find a road closed sign and a need to adjust your course to reach your destination.

The road work is a result of the ongoing work to repair the city's water infrastructure issues, which have been making for a never ending game of whack a mole for the city's work crews.

The city now a collection of neighbourhoods connected mostly by detours and rerouted travels.

Below is a photo essay of just a few of the active (in most cases) work sites around the city this week.

Work on Kootenay at McKay has closed the road
and the nearby dog park

Access to Cow Bay needs a work around as 
Third Avenue East is closed for work

The progress of repairs for Frederick Street appears to
be on pause with a giant pile of gravel awaiting its home

7th Avenue East is the latest excavation site for 
City workers, the work on the road to Seal Cove means
that Prince Rupert Transit has shortened the route until completion

Of course the longest running project is up on Crestview Drive, where the residential neighbourhood has been cut in half at Applewaite for close to one year now, the water line issues on the east side marking the start of Prince Rupert's year of never ending repairs.

You can keep up with all of the road closure advisories from the City's Social media stream or the City of Prince Rupert mobile app.
