103A Avenue and 99 Street Streetscape and Pedway

An artistic rendering of the street level pedway access for the 103A Avenue and 99 Street pedway.

Construction continues on the 103A Avenue and 99 Street underground pedway from Churchill LRT Station to the Station Lands development north of 104 Avenue. A pop-up entrance will be built near the CN Tower bus loop on 103A Avenue. Pedway construction is anticipated to be complete in 2026. Streetscape construction is anticipated to begin in 2027.

Project Update - Summer 2026

Ledcor continues to make construction progress on the pedway project. In 2026 a major milestone was reached when the tunnel roof was completed, fully interconnecting all six phases of the pedway underground.

Upcoming work will be conducted inside a section of the existing pedway between Churchill Station and the Edmonton Law Courts. During the closure, crews will install the final electrical, mechanical and architectural finishes, which is highlighted in ourproject update. Another area of focus will be the reinstatement of 103A Avenue and 99 Street to allow future access to the City Hall parkade from 102A and 103A Avenue.

More information can be found in our updated phasing plan for impacts on pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic.

Project History

Project Update - Fall 2025

Through the summer construction season, Ledcor continued to make progress on the pedway project. This included adding mechanical, electrical and architectural elements to the tunnel section north of 103A Avenue and completing all excavation and concrete slab pours in the future “pop-up” located near the CN Tower bus loop.

Another achievement this summer was the successful switch of the construction site where work was moved from the south to the north section of 99 Street. The roadway and sidewalk on the south half of 99 street has been fully reinstated while work continues underground in the new tunnel. This major milestone also means that the project has entered its final phase of excavation work. To allow for this work to occur, City Hall parkade access will be via 102A Avenue only and will no longer be available off 103A Avenue, which is highlighted in our project update.

More information can be found in our updated phasing plan for impacts on pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic.
