3 years and $23.5M later, final repairs for Regina's collapsed stormwater pipe underway
A section of Wascana Park in Regina has been fenced off for more than three years, protecting a concrete basin and pumps serving as a temporary bypass under the Albert Memorial Bridge. Work on a permanent fix to Speaker's Corner, which forms the entrance to the park, is underway.
