Century Road north of Grove Drive to Highway 16 is closed as the roadway is covered in water, resulting in safety concerns for motorists and on-site City crews. Both northbound lanes are closed and one southbound lane is closed.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes (Emergency Services will not be impacted). City crews will continue to monitor the roadway and help direct traffic until it is safe to reopen.

Crews will also continue monitoring and responding to rainfall-related calls throughout the overnight hours. If you have drainage concerns, please call the City’s water or sewer emergency reporting line at 780-441-6266.

UPDATE - Sunday, June 21, 4:30 p.m.
Crews are continuing to respond to rainfall-related calls throughout the community. This includes the area around No Frills/Vanderbuilt Common, where there is substantial water on the roadways. The water is draining slowly, but residents/motorists may want to use alternate routes.

Residents and motorists are also asked to:
  • Slow down when travelling on water-covered roadways, watch for on-site crews, and follow all posted signage.
  • Stay away from any flowing water and stormwater management facilities, as undercurrents may exist. Playing or splashing in the water is a significant safety risk.
If you have drainage concerns, please call the City’s water or sewer emergency reporting line at 780-441-6266.

Sunday, June 21 - 2:20 p.m.

In response to the continued rainfall in Spruce Grove, the City’s Drainage, Roads, and Utility crews have been out since 2 a.m. on Sunday morning (June 21) proactively responding to calls and addressing problem areas throughout the community.

The City’s drainage system is operating as it should; however, due to the volume of rainfall it is expected to see water on some roadways. These roadways have been designed to direct water to the nearest stormwater management facility (SWMF).

Residents who live near a SWMF may also see flooding around pathways, benches, and waste receptacles in the area around the SWMF. This is expected and shows the utility is working as it should.

If you have drainage concerns, please call the City’s water or sewer emergency reporting line at 780-441-6266.

Concerns can also be reported online at through SeeClickFix.

Also, please note that in some areas of Spruce Grove where construction is underway, residents may see silt/sediment filter socks across roadways. These devices are in place to keep mud and other construction-related debris out of the City’s drainage system and should not be removed.
