The Wellington Bridge, located on 102 Avenue between Churchill Crescent and Wellington Crescent, will be replaced.

Project Update - May 2022

The preliminary design of the Wellington Bridge Replacement has been completed.  A concrete arch bridge was the recommended bridge style for this location. 

The Detailed Design Phase is anticipated to begin in 2024. The detailed design will be finalized and tendered towards the end of the Valley Line West LRT construction. 

Construction of the Wellington Bridge is anticipated to start between 2025 and 2028 and will take approximately two years to complete. Construction will start after the Valley Line West is completed to reduce impacts to adjacent businesses and residents.

Wellington Bridge Preliminary Design Concrete Arch Bridge – to be refined during detailed design

The proposed bridge will be wider than the current bridge to accommodate a 4.2 m wide shared-use path (SUP) on the north side, a  2.8 m wide sidewalk on the south side, wider driving lanes and shoulders to meet City of Edmonton Construction and Design Standards.
The SUP on the bridge will line up with the SUP on 102 Avenue. This will reduce the number of cyclists on the road and user conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians.
