Anderson LRT pedestrian bridge closure

As work continues on the Anderson LRT bridge rehabilitation, contractors are planning sandblasting activities during the long weekend. Sandblasting produces noise and sand that would not be safe for pedestrians. As a result, the Anderson LRT pedestrian bridge will be closed from nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning on Friday, September 3. This closure will occur at night during these hours on September 3 – 7 (ending at 5 a.m. on September 8). There will also be some reduced lanes on MacLeod Trail at Anderson Road during these evenings.

Calgary Transit will provide a shuttle service for bridge users to the mall. The Anderson Station-Southcentre Shuttle will be in service from 7:45 p.m. to 2:15 a.m. each night and will run every 15 minutes. We thank everyone for their patience while we conduct this critical infrastructure work. For more information on this project, visit Calgary.ca/andersonbridge

5 Avenue flyover rehabilitation project

On Saturday, Sept. 4, three lanes will be closed on the 5 Avenue flyover between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. Motorists should expect significant delays and plan an alternate route if possible. These closures are required as part of the 5 Avenue flyover rehabilitation project.

On Sunday, September 5 from 4 a.m. until 3 p.m., a full closure will be in place on 17 Avenue S.W., from Macleod Trail to 2 Street S.W., to accommodate top-lift paving.
