The City of Swift Current wishes to advise residents and motorists that, beginning Sunday, April 25th, Cheadle Street West will be closed from 1st Avenue Northwest to Central Avenue North.

This closure is necessary to facilitate the conversion from overhead to underground power lines in the downtown core. It is anticipated that the closure will be in place for approximately seven to ten days, and detours will be in place for the duration of the work.

In a media release Mitch Minken, General Manager of the City’s Infrastructure & Operations Division stated that "The overhead lines are located in the alleys in the downtown business area. However, we need to close the street on the affected block to trench the lines under the roadway, as we have done in previous years with these ongoing upgrades."

The City would like to remind residents and motorists to drive with caution in and around construction zones, and to extend our appreciation for their patience during this project.
