The City of Prince George is set to launch its project to replace aging streetlight infrastructure between 15th Avenue and 1st Avenue.
New energy-efficient LED lights will be installed in improved locations to enhance nighttime visibility on both streets and sidewalks, increasing safety for all road users.
Nearly 1,000 streetlights have been identified as needing replacement out of the 4,700 in Prince George, with many installed in the 1970s, and no longer meeting current City standards or electrical code requirements.
In total, 68 new streetlights will be installed along this section of Tabor Boulevard.
Streetlight poles and components will be removal and disposed, followed by the installation of new poles and modern lighting infrastructure.
The construction budget for the project is approximately $2.5 million.
Residents are reminded to obey posted signage and drive cautiously around construction zones.
Construction is set to begin Tuesday, and is expected to continue through the summer and be completed by September.
