The City of Regina is moving forward with $147 million in infrastructure projects for the 2026 construction season. This investment, aimed at improving roadways and water services across the community, is part of an ongoing effort to address what city officials describe as a long-standing infrastructure deficit.
There are seven major construction projects scheduled for this year, with five already underway as of late April. These include the final year of the 11th Avenue Revitalization Project, which is expected to wrap up by October 2026, and the completion of the northbound section of the Albert Street North Overpass Upgrade. Once finished in October, the overpass will be raised to help prevent strikes by large trucks.
Other active work includes the Speaker’s Corner Drainage Renewal Project, which began on April 16 to address damage from a 2023 storm drain collapse. Additionally, improvements at the intersection of Lewvan Drive and Dewdney Avenue, identified as the city’s most collision-prone intersection, will include the installation of dual left-turn lanes.
While the city manages these local projects, the federal government is providing $29,068,000 for the South Trunk Wastewater Upgrade through the Build Communities Strong Fund. Regina Mayor Chad Bachynski noted that these investments are intended to build a stronger foundation for the city’s future. The city’s broader 2026 budget, which includes a 10.9 per cent mill rate increase, allocates $223 million for capital road projects and $119 million for water utility upgrades.
