Escarpment Update #2

The City is proactively shifting Robert Service Way traffic lanes away from the base of the escarpment. Road users can expect to see work ramp up in the area overnight on March 26 and 27. The lane shift will be complete by the morning of March 28.

The road will remain open to vehicle traffic while the work takes place. We ask that you use caution and follow signage in the area. The Millennium Trail remains open for active transportation.

The aim of this work is to reduce the impact of potential landslides by creating extra space between the escarpment and traffic.

Once City crews shift the road, they will begin removing accumulated material from along the base of the escarpment. This will create space for more material in the event that a landslide takes place this spring. This work will not affect the flow of traffic.

Regular updates on the state of the escarpment will be shared on our social media and at: EngageWhitehorse.ca/escarpment-2024
