The Terwillegar Drive Expansion Project will ensure this key north-south route continues connecting Edmontonians across the city now and into the future. Construction is underway to expand and upgrade Terwillegar Drive, which will alleviate congestion and provide all users with a safe and efficient route. Construction on Stage Two of the project continues into 2024.
Rainbow Valley Bridge westbound closure
Starting Friday, February 9, the westbound Rainbow Valley Bridge on Whitemud Drive will close. Two-way traffic will be redirected to the eastbound Rainbow Valley Bridge. Full lane and shoulder closures will be staged along the Whitemud Drive and Terwillegar Drive corridors. These significant traffic pattern changes are required to complete the necessary work to widen the bridge to four lanes plus shoulders.
Pedestrians, cyclists and other active modes will be required to follow a safe detour through Whitemud Creek Ravine.
New pedestrian bridge construction
As part of the Terwillegar Drive Stage Two Expansion, construction of a new pedestrian bridge adjacent to the Rainbow Valley Bridge will begin. This new bridge will improve safety and experience for all active modes of transportation, providing a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, away from traffic.
Commuters are encouraged to plan ahead and allow additional travel time. The City understands construction can be disruptive, and thanks Edmontonians for their patience as this project is completed. Please drive with care.
