The Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion is progressing! I’d like to share some updates on the two sections of the project that are located in Ward Anirniq.
Completion of the whole freeway expected by 2027 - making Yellowhead Trail free flowing the entire length within Edmonton. This is essential to move goods and services safely and efficiently across Edmonton.
CHANGES:156 Street to St. Albert Trail
Construction is expected to continue until late 2023 and resume in the spring of 2024
By the end of 2023, Yellowhead Trail will be opened to 3 lanes in both directions between 156 Street and St. Albert Trail
