184 Street Bridge over the Yellowhead Freeway

Rehabilitation work on the 184 Street Bridge over Yellowhead Trail is now underway and is expected to be completed in fall 2026.

Project Update - August 2026

Accelerated rehabilitation of the 184 Street Bridge over Yellowhead Trail will start the week of August 10, 2026. Rehabilitation of the bridge will ensure a safe and reliable crossing for all users. 

A temporary full closure of the bridge will be required to complete the rehabilitation safely. The bridge closure is anticipated to last approximately three months. This full bridge closure will allow crews to accelerate the construction timeline and reduce the project duration to a single construction season. Construction is anticipated to be completed in fall 2026.

Traffic Impacts

  • A temporary full closure will be required for approximately 3 months. 
  • The ramps on and off Yellowhead Trail will remain open throughout construction. While drivers will not be able to cross Yellowhead Trail using the bridge, they will continue to have access to 184 Street using the Yellowhead Trail Ramps. 
  • Traffic needing to cross Yellowhead Trail will be detoured to alternative routes, including Anthony Henday Drive, 156 Street and 170 Street.

Access

  • Yellowhead Trail eastbound will be able to exit onto 184 Street and travel south, while northbound traffic on 184 Street will exit onto Yellowhead Trail eastbound.
  • Yellowhead Trail westbound will be able to exit onto 184 Street northbound, while southbound traffic on 184 street will be able to exit onto Yellowhead Trail and travel west.
  • Access to businesses and nearby residential properties will be maintained.
  • Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout construction.
  • Access to the ETS bus stops will be maintained. 

Project Overview

Construction on the 184 Street Bridge over Yellowhead Trail will begin in summer 2026 to extend the bridge’s service life and improve safety for all users.

This project includes renewing the bridge deck, replacing the surface asphalt and installing an upgraded waterproofing system. This is the first rehabilitation of the bridge since it was constructed in the early 2000s. Completing this preventative maintenance now will help preserve the bridge, extend its service life and ensure it continues to provide a safe and reliable crossing for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians for years to come.
