Drainage Improvements on Wood Buffalo Way
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) is in the design stage to complete some overland drainage improvements and spot repairs on the pavement along Wood Buffalo Way in Thickwood.
Some of the improvements we are considering are located on the public road Right-of-Way (ROW) adjacent to residents' property and driveway. We’d like to keep residents of Wood Buffalo Way informed and hear about the experiences you’re having with overland drainage.
Key Considerations
At this time, we are in the design stages and anticipate that construction could happen in 2024. Construction would include making spot repairs to the road surface, modifying ditch lines to improve drainage, repositioning culverts where necessary, and changing surface materials in key locations. In some cases, driveways may be disturbed to replace culverts at new elevations to promote drainage. Disturbed driveways would be repaved up to property line.
