Construction Update - August 2025
The second year of Meyokumin Neighbourhood Renewal is underway. Work will consist of reconstruction and paving of the roads, removal and replacement of public sidewalk, curb, gutter and street lighting.
Please note, a change in the construction schedule will close down the west part of the neighbourhood where 19A Avenue becomes 62 Street. This area was originally planned to be completed in 2026, but the Project Team has decided to complete this section in 2025. Completing this part of the work now allows us to better manage traffic flow and minimize disruptions during the peak school year. This two-phase approach for 62 Street is intended to limit disruptions.
Additionally, there will be a full road closure on 57 Street from 19A Avenue to 23 Avenue until September 4, 2025. Local access to the condominium will be maintained on the north side of 57 Street near 23 Avenue.
Work is ongoing in the following locations:
- Catchbasin replacements and relocations on 62 Street from 18 Avenue to 19A Avenue and on 22 Avenue from 57 Street to 52 Street
- Excavation work on the south side of 19 Avenue from 66 Street to 62 Street
- Excavation work on the east side of 65 Street from 19 Avenue to 17 Avenue
- Excavation work on the east side of 57 Street from 23 Avenue to 19A Avenue
- Concrete work on the south side of 19 Avenue from 66 Street to 62 Street
- Concrete work on the east side of 65 Street from 19 Avenue to 17 Avenue
- Concrete work on the east side of 57 Street from 23 Avenue to 19A Avenue
- Roadway work at 65 Street north cul-de-sac south of 19 Avenue and 65 Street southwest cul-de-sac on 17 Avenue
- Street lighting works continue on 57 Street from 19A Avenue to 23 Avenue and east side of Meyokumin Park and west of 57 Street from 19A Avenue to 23 Avenue and between 1752 62 Street and 1739 62 Street
- The roadway is completed at 17 Avenue to 17A Avenue on 55 Street and 18 Avenue to 18A Avenue on 56 Street.
This year, the majority of construction will take place from 57 Street to 65 Street, as well as 56 Street from 19A Avenue to 18 Avenue, and 55 Street from 17A Avenue to 17 Avenue. Please view this scope map to see the 2025 construction area. Work will also happen in the commercial area along 57 Street and parks and open spaces in the neighbourhood, including:
- Removal and replacement of trails in Meyokumin Park and 55 Street Park
- Construction of a new trail along the east side of Meyokumin Park
- Removal and replacement of park lighting in Meyokumin Park and 55 Street Park
For those who live in the 2024 construction area (specifically the alleys completed in 2024), the remaining landscaping work is scheduled to start at the same time as this year’s construction. Landscaping work is highly dependent on weather and sod availability.
Check out the links below to prepare for construction:
The City of Edmonton and EPCOR are working together to construct Low Impact Development (LID), which will help with stormwater retention and help mitigate flooding.
If you live in the 2025 construction area, please watch your mailbox for construction bulletins that will provide more information along with details on landscaping and access. All residents and business owners are asked to access their homes and businesses through the back entrances and alleys, where possible, during construction. If no alley access is available and/or you have special access requirements (such as DATS or a temporary access ramp to the front of your home), please contact the Construction Project Manager, David Ha, 780-496-4055, to coordinate.
Construction in Meyokumin began in spring 2024 and is expected to take 3 years (planned completion fall 2026). Neighbourhood renewal in Meyokumin is progressing on time and on budget.
