Bridge work to continue along 16 Avenue N.W. over Shaganappi Trail and Bowness Road

The City of Calgary will continue work on the rehabilitating of two bridges along 16 Avenue N.W. over Shaganappi Trail and Bowness Road N.W.

 

This work will impact traffic along 16 Avenue N.W. as well as portions of Bowness Road N.W. starting on May 6, 2013. If the spring weather permits, the rehabilitation should be completed by June 30, 2013.

 

Daily impacts to travel along 16 Avenue, Bowness Road and Shaganappi Trail N.W. will be available in The City of Calgary’s daily Road Closures and Lane Restrictions news release in The City’s newsroom and on the Calgary.ca/trafficinfo.

 

The general impact of the bridge construction along 16 Avenue N.W. will be single lane closures in both directions during off-peak hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, Monday to Friday and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

 

Bowness Road N.W. will also have single lane closures in both directions from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week and any night work that needs to be done during this construction will take place from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The sidewalks under 16 Avenue N.W. along Bowness Road N.W. will be closed and pedestrians and cyclists are advised to use the river pathway as an alternative route. 

 

This project was started in 2012 and was necessary as both bridges were nearing the end of their lifecycle. The scope of the project work focused on full deck rehabilitations and paving, new traffic barriers, subway wall replacement and subway walk widening on Bowness Road.

 

The 2013 work is focused on the installation of new bridge railings, sidewalk work and some small areas of paving. More details about this work are available on Calgary.ca.
