The City will be starting a full rebuild of Fith Avenue Southeast today, with detours going up for the duration of the work. 

Folks can expect this work to take two or three days, weather depending. 

In charge of these projects for the City of Swift Current is the General Manager of Infrastructure and Operations, Mitch Minken. 

"The road has failed to the point where we have to mill the whole road," stated Minken. 

This process involves replacing the street along with both the sidewalks, which were in pretty bad condition. 

"The sidewalks have been replaced and now we're milling out the pavement and doing a full curb-to-curb pavement process," said Minken. 

Minken didn't have the total cost of this project off the top of his head, but he assures that it won't be breaking the bank. 

"These projects were all in the budgeted program between concrete and paving of about $1,000,000," said Minken. 

While the work is being done, signage will be posted guiding traffic down the detour.
