ITE Canada: Northern Alberta Section The Genesis of Terwillegar Drive Stage 1 – Freeway to Expressway

May 3, 2023@11:00 am to 1:00 pm MDT

$35.00 – $50.00

Since 2001 the City of Edmonton has been exploring options for the upgrade of Terwillegar Drive between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive to accommodate evolving traffic demands along the corridor. In 2018, the original vision of a six-lane freeway complete with interchanges was recognized to incorporate several elements that were no longer consistent with the city’s transportation goals and an alternative strategy to meet current design standards, economic constraints and the wants and needs of adjacent communities was developed. Our presentation provides some insight on the genesis of the expressway concept, the extensive public engagement process undertaken by the project team and details some of the challenges and outcomes experienced through the planning, design and implementation of the expressway corridor that is currently being constructed.

Date: May 3
Registration & Social: 11:40 AM – 12:00 PM (MDT)
Luncheon & Presentation: 12:00 – 1:00 PM (MDT)
Location: Faculty Club at the University of Alberta, Winspear Room, 11435 Saskatchewan Drive, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2G9
