Businesses Remain Open as Centennial Drive North Construction Continues

Construction work on the Centennial Drive North Upgrade Project is now underway, bringing traffic changes to one of Martensville’s busiest commercial corridors while businesses in the area work to maintain access for customers.
As of June 1st, Centennial Drive North from 3rd Street North to approximately the 500 block of Centennial Drive North closed to traffic as part of the City’s infrastructure improvement project. While the closure has altered normal traffic patterns, businesses along the corridor remain open and accessible through a temporary access route established from the north end of Centennial Drive.
Among the affected businesses is Martensville Collective Health and Wellness, which has been reminding clients that the clinic remains open throughout the construction. The clinic noted that access is currently available from the north only and that a portion of its parking lot is being used as an entrance to the temporary roadway serving other businesses in the area. Client parking is available inside the fenced area along the south side of the property.
Smokehaus Meats shared a notice to the public encouraging them to continue to support the business through their busiest season of the year, and that the staff parking area located within the back of the store will now be available for customers, along with parking available along the south fence.
Access to businesses is provided from the north, going through the parking lots of Martensville Collective Health & Wellness, Martensville Plumbing & Heating, Offroad Exteriors, K&M Classics and Smokehaus Meats.
The City has encouraged motorists to follow all posted detour and directional signage while travelling through the construction zone. Updates on the project are expected to continue throughout the summer.
The Centennial Drive North Upgrade Project is expected to continue to September, with temporary access routes in place to ensure businesses remain reachable during construction. Be sure to continue to support our local businesses during this time, as they rely on community support to continue to be successful and continue to give their support back into the community.
