Buena Vista Road Reconstruction
About the Project
Buena Vista Road serves the communities of Parkview and Laurier Heights. It’s also a busy connector road providing access to popular river valley amenities including The Valley Zoo, Edmonton Rowing Club and a number of public parks.
The Buena Vista Road project includes:
- A new traffic circle at the end of Buena Vista Road near the zoo
- Removal and replacement of the road, curb and gutter, and sidewalks
- Installation of raised crosswalks
- New streetlights
- Intersection improvements
Where We Are
Reconstruction of Buena Vista Road from 142 Street to 132 Street continues in spring 2016. Construction of the traffic circle at Buena Vista Road and 132 Street will begin mid-May 2016. During construction, temporary paved detour roads will be in place to provide access to the Edmonton Valley Zoo, the Edmonton Rowing Club, Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park, Buena Vista Park and the river valley.
Construction is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2016. Upon completion, the detour roads will be restored to the existing ground conditions and the traffic circle will be in service controlling traffic movements at the intersection.
Some trees around the new traffic circle will be removed or relocated. The removal/relocation of these trees is being done in partnership with the City of Edmonton’s Urban Forestry section to ensure minimized impacts. New trees will be planted once construction is complete.
The southwest side of Buena Vista Road from 140 Street to 132 Street will also receive upgrades during the 2016 construction season. Three raised crosswalks will be constructed at 85 Avenue, 81 Avenue and near the end of Buena Vista Road.
The reconstruction of Buena Vista Road began in spring 2015. The work included reconstructing the northeast half of the road and replacing the sidewalks. In addition, two major intersections were enhanced along Buena Vista Road at 138 Street and Valleyview Crescent.
