53rd Avenue & 54th Street Rehabilitation Project Out for Tender
The 53rd Avenue & 54th Street Rehabilitation project was put out for tender in March. It remained out for tender until the date of April 23rd, 2026.
The Town of Thorsby Council has authorized the complete rehabilitation of 53rd Avenue and 54th Street, as well as water main improvements which would also loop the existing dead-end water pipes to allow for more free flow and less sediment build up of water in the area.
This project is expected to begin from the end of May to the end of September, weather dependent.
