Three bridges taking traffic in and out of Edmonton’s downtown are set to undergo construction later this year. As Erik Bay tells us, the city says it has a plan to alleviate concerns about traffic congestion.Three bridges carrying traffic in and out of Edmonton’s downtown are set to undergo construction at different points in 2025.“They recognize they can’t be closing three bridges down all at once, they’re not closing three bridges all at once,” ward Nakota Isga coun. Andrew Knack said.
During that time, southbound traffic will move over to the northbound lanes, and vehicles going north will cross using the nearby James MacDonald Bridge instead. That construction work shut down a nearby stretch of Stony Plain Road for nearly two years, when the old bridge over Groat Road was demolished and replaced with a new span that accommodates LRT tracks. During that closure, east and westbound traffic was diverted south to 102nd Avenue and north to 107th Avenue.“They’re staggering it in a way that actually responds to the feedback we heard, from primarily the business community in the downtown core,” Knack said.
