Thank you to everyone who joined the Online Pre-construction Information Session on June 1, 2021. The project team presented the construction staging schedule and answered questions from event participants.
If you were unable to attend, please watch the information session recording.
The project includes the widening of Fort Road to 6 lanes from Yellowhead Trail to 66 Street. Additional changes include:
Widening of the CN Rail underpass
Increased CN Rail underpass clearance by lowering Fort Road
New shared-use path on the west side of Fort Road
Improved sidewalk on the east side of Fort Road
A new industrial collector road from 61 Street to 71 Street, west of Fort Road, will be constructed including a new shared-use path and sidewalk.
