Alberta Transportation will be widening the westbound lane, replacing the eastbound lane and installing a new pedestrian bridge on Stoney Trail over the Bow River.

Work will be ongoing until the autumn of 2023 and impacted areas will include the pathway system connecting Rotary Nature Park to McKenzie Meadows and, on the west side of the Bow River, from Sikome Aquatic Facility to Lafarge Meadows.

Additionally, please note the current pedestrian overpass is permanently closed, to facilitate construction of a replacement.

Detours and closures for pedestrian, cyclist and river users will be ongoing during this project. Parking at Rotary Nature Park will also be intermittently closed. Please obey all signs, closures and detours.

More project information can be found here.

For concerns, please contact Estella Petzold from Alberta Transportation at Estella.Petzold@gov.ab.ca
