Crowchild Trail Upgrades Project - That's a Wrap!

With the goal of improving traffic flow along Crowchild Trail from Bow Trail to 5 Avenue N.W., moving traffic more efficiently on to and off of the road, and improving connections for pathway users in the area, this project is now mostly complete (with some minor work and cleanup remaining).

The sheer magnitude and complexity of this work is what’s put it on the map - Adding new lanes, relocating ramps, upgrading the existing pathway system, and rehabilitating & retrofitting bridges which together, stretch over the Bow River, CP Railway and LRT tracks, other major roadways, pathways and sensitive habitats, all while maintaining traffic flow.

Well, we did it, and we never could have without you. Thank you for your patience, Calgary!

Impressive that the bridge stayed open the whole time.

So is the weight comparison to African or Asian elephants?

Still more work needs to be done. Interchange at 12 Mile Coulee Road, 23rd Avenue NW, 5th Avenue NW and Kensington Road. Number the exits too.

More lanes should be added to Deerfoot trail now. It’s only made for 100k vehicles and over 500k drive on it.

Increase the damn speed limit please. No one goes 60! Everyone is going over 70!
