In 2024, we completed the streetscape improvements and infrastructure upgrades: on the north side of 1 Avenue N.E. between 6 Street to 7A Street N.E. and from 8A Street to 11 Street N.E.; also, improvements were made on the south side of 1 Ave NE between 7A Street to 9A Street N.E. Additionally, five intersections along 2 Avenue N.E. were upgraded in 2024 as part of the Bridgeland Main Street project. This included widening sidewalks and upgrading streetlighting to improve pedestrian safety, providing street furniture to enhance pedestrian comfort, beautifying the area with the addition of new naturalized turfs, decorative grasses, and new trees.

This construction season, as part of the Bridgeland Main Street Project, The City is completing sidewalk and streetscape improvements along 1 Avenue NE between 11 Street to 6 Street NE. Crews are finishing construction on the south side of 1 Avenue between 7A Street to 8A Street NE and we are targeting completion by the end of August 2024.

The City of Calgary requires ENMAX Power to relocate existing electrical infrastructure to accommodate the Bridgeland Main Streets project.

Modifications will include burying overhead power lines and installing associated utility equipment along 1 Avenue Between 4 Street to 6 Street NE. Please refer to the below map for more information.

Currently, this work is anticipated to commence in July 2024, and last approximately 8 weeks. ENMAX has already begun sharing notices and having conversations with affected businesses and properties in advance of this work.

If you’ve traveled through Bridgeland lately, you may have noticed a few different varieties of protected cycling infrastructure popping up.

The City of Calgary is currently piloting four different types of wheeling lane separators along the north side of McDougall Road from 6 Street to 9 Street NE. Separators provide a highly visible barrier along a bike lane used to separate between people driving and people wheeling.

This construction season as part of the Bridgeland Main Street project, you can expect to see work occurring in multiple street blocks at a time, in stages along 1 Avenue N.E. from 11 Street to 7A Street N.E. Crews are finishing construction on 1 Avenue between 9A Street to 11 Street N.E. and we are targeting completion by the end of June 2024.

The Bridgeland Mainstreet Project will be installing underground utilities at the 9A Street intersection along the north side of 1 Avenue N.E. To complete this work, a temporary road closure is required. On either May 30 and 31, OR June 1 and 2, 9A Street between 1 Avenue and 2 Avenue N.E. will be closed for construction. Please note that the exact timeline for this work has not yet been finalized; therefore, two sets of dates are provided above. The date will be determined based on scheduling and crew availability.

We kindly ask that you remain vigilant for crews and detour signage during this period.

Construction for the final phase of the Bridgeland Active Modes Improvements project is starting soon. 

The construction is scheduled to occur from May 2024 to mid-June 2024. The work will be carried out in phases along the corridor. Access for drivers and pedestrians will be maintained throughout construction. 

As with all road construction projects, temporary localized impacts are inevitable, but The City of Calgary is committed to minimizing disruption to the community.

Phase Two of the Bridgeland Main Streets project is moving into the second season of construction this spring, and we want to provide you with an update on what you can expect during construction.

The second phase of the Bridgeland Main Streets started in Fall 2023 and is expected to be in construction until Fall 2025. You will see operational and streetscape improvements along 1 Avenue N.E. from 4 Street N.E. to 11 Street N.E., and along 2 Avenue N.E. between 6 Street N.E. to 10 Street N.E.
