April 4, 2014 City set for largest road rehabilitation project ever Crews with the City of Prince George are about to undertake the city’s most extensive road rehabilitation project ever. The total budget for road rehabilitation in 2014 is $9.8 million and exceeds 2012’s budget by more than $4 million. The City’s financial plan for road construction and improvements this year is approximately $7.1 million with an additional $2.7 million provided by the Community Works Fund. In May, crews will begin the road work and are expected to wrap up operations by late October. “During the budget process for 2014, Prince George City Council decided to allocate unexpended Community Works Funds on transportation related projects,” says the City’s Director of Operations Bill Gaal. “The City prioritized the available funds between improving gravel roads, local roads, and sidewalk projects.” A few of the roads scheduled for rehabilitation in Prince George include North Nechako Road, Tyner Boulevard, and Penn Road.

The increased amount also allows for a small contingency for any unforeseen expenses arising during the construction of these projects. The City will add additional projects if there are funds still available near the end of the construction season.
