Roads, sidewalks, water mains, storm sewers and sanitary sewers are all being replaced as a major road reconstruction project on 31st Street in Vernon is set to begin Friday, Sept. 17.

The work will also see street lighting improved, safety improvements at the rail crossing installed and a new sidewalk built in the area north of the former Civic Arena site.

The work, which will begin at 6 a.m. Friday, will force the closure of the intersection of 31st St. and 39th Ave. It will remain closed until a new water main and concrete curbing is installed. It’s expected that this part of the project will be completed by the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 22.
