Market Access Network Calcium Base Stabilization
Calcium chloride base stabilization upgrades to Lethbridge County’s Market Access Network will begin shortly, stated a recent media release.
Gravel placement is scheduled to begin the first week of August on the roadways identified for upgrades to a calcium chloride base stabilization standard this year.
As hauling of gravel will begin shortly, traffic on Township Road 12-0 and Range Road 20-3 will increase for a short period.
Once gravel placement is complete, the county will begin the stabilization process. Motorists are advised to please follow detour signs placed around the construction zones.
A slight modification has been made to this year’s calcium chloride base stabilization plan.
Due to public feedback, calcium stabilization will be extended west by five miles on Township Road 12-0
