The City of Edmonton hosted a public information session, where it shared the final detailed design, construction timelines and detours during construction.
Historical & Cultural Considerations
The City has completed archaeological pit testing on the north bank of the project area. Construction of temporary access roads needed to build river berms will begin in January 2013.
The Walterdale Bridge Replacement project is now in the detailed design phase. This phase will define and detail the construction scope of the project, including final bridge design, alignment, construction lay-down areas, associated road and trail connections, utility relocations and requirements to protect cultural heritage and the environment.
Approximately 180 people attended the Public Open House held on the evening of Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at the Old Timers Cabin. City representatives and members of the project team presented the overall preliminary design for the Walterdale Bridge Replacement project and were available to answer questions about the project. Below are the links to the Open House materials outlining the recommended preliminary design for the Walterdale Bridge Replacement.
Activity Centres and Circulation
Three arch bridge alternatives for the new Walterdale Bridge were explored during the preliminary engineering design phase. Each of the alternatives was evaluated by a set selection criteria with Alternative 2 being the recommended option for detailed design.
Alternative #1 - Twin Arch Conventional Sidewalk and Shared Use Path: $119 million
Alternative #2 - Twin Arch Separate Shared Use Path on East Side: $131 million
Alternative #3 - Single Arch Separate Shared Use Path on West Side: $197 million
In evaluating the arch bridge alternatives, the following selection criteria were used:
The City of Edmonton continues to engage representatives of key stakeholder groups. On December 8, 2011 the Stakeholder Input Panel received the latest Preliminary Engineering Update.
The feedback the City will receive will be considered alongside all technical data that has been gathered for the project. This phase of public involvement will continue into early 2012 and will include one on one interviews as well as a public information session.
In February 2012 a public information session will be held where all interested parties can attend and provide their input. A specific date is not yet known however a meeting notice will be placed on this page and additional advertising will be used to notify residents.
The Walterdale Bridge Replacement project is moving into the preliminary design phase and will be implemented on behalf of The City of Edmonton by ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd.
