Road closure for pedestrian bridge truss installation at 170 Street from 87 Street to 90 Street
May 10, 2023

Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, May 12, 170 Street from 87 Avenue to 90 Avenue, including the shared pathway, will be temporarily closed to accommodate installation of the 170 Street pedestrian bridge truss structure. The road will reopen Monday, May 15 at 6 a.m. in time for weekday morning traffic. The shared pathway and the West Edmonton Mall parking lot ramps along 170 Street will remain closed until summer 2023. 

Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists are asked to use alternative routes and are reminded to plan for extra travel time.

Construction on the 170 Street pedestrian bridge began in late 2021 and is anticipated to be completed in summer 2023. 

Please exercise caution and follow all construction signage in the area. The City thanks motorists, pedestrians and cyclists for their patience while we work to complete this transformative project.
