Starting April 23rd, 2025, the City of Calgary will begin drainage rehabilitation work at the east end of the 8th Avenue NE Bridge over Deerfoot Trail. This is a short project with work anticipated to be mostly completed by the end of May 2025.

The Bridgeland Main Streets project is moving into its third season of construction starting the week of April 14, 2025. Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2025. This phase will include operational and streetscape improvements along 1 Ave N.E. This construction season, work will occur across multiple blocks at a time, progressing in stages along 1 Ave N.E. from 8A St. to 4 St. N.E.

As the wire service provider for Calgary, ENMAX Power maintains and operates the system of wires and infrastructure that delivers electricity to our city’s homes and businesses. ENMAX Power crews work 24/7 to ensure safe and reliable power throughout Calgary.

Below are the anticipated projects scheduled over the coming months in Ward 9. It is important to note that this list does not capture inspections, routine maintenance, or emergency work.

In support of the City of Calgary’s Bridgeland Main Street Project, our partner, ENMAX, will be completing important utility upgrades. This work will include burying overhead powerlines and installing upgraded utility equipment along 1 Ave N.E.

To complete the work, there will be a full closure of the 1 Ave N.E. and 6 St. N.E. intersection for approximately 1 week. Work will begin the week of March 24, 2025. Construction is expected to last 4 weeks.

The 4th Avenue Flyover is well on its way to being completed later this year, with construction moving forward steadily and crews working hard to keep the project on track.

Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up next: 

The Bridgeland Main Streets project is moving into the third season of construction this spring and is expected to be complete by fall/winter 2025. As part of this project, The City of Calgary is completing important streetscape and infrastructure improvements along 1 Avenue N.E. While we are still finalizing the timelines, we will share additional updates in the coming weeks. For the most up to date details, please visit our website Calgary.ca/BridgelandMainstreet.

The 4th Avenue Flyover will need to fully close temporarily to complete repairs sustained by a vehicular incident. A section of the bridge’s barriers and rails sustained damage in the incident and require repairs, however the bridge is still safe to use.  

The bridge will fully close overnight for two days: 

• February 13th beginning at 9 pm until February 14th at 5 am, and 

• February 14th beginning at 9 pm, until February 15th at 5 am. 

Phase Two of the Inglewood Sanitary Trunk (IST) project is underway, with an anticipated completion date of July 2025.

In order to successfully complete this project, crews will have to close the righthand (south lane) of Memorial Drive eastbound between the Bridgeland C-train station and Baines Bridge (Zoo bridge). Traffic will be detoured to the centre and lefthand lane (north lane) for the duration of this work. It is anticipated that this work will take approximately six months to complete.

From our families to yours, with love and fellowship, we wish you peace, respite, rejuvenation, and all the best in 2025.

In lieu of mailing traditional holiday cards, we’ve opted to donate to several notable local charities. This season, our focus is on supporting four organizations doing deeply meaningful and important work to care for our 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbours.

Happy Holidays!
