Is it closed for signage installation or something else?

Edit: they’re fixing a barrier on the southern side of the Yellowhead mainline lanes. I think it’s at that spot where a drunk driver crashed his car and it started a fire.

a drunk arsonist? Those are the worst kind.

I’m guessing the work on the 66 Street interchange will start next spring.

Do they have a finalized design on that?

Thanks, last I saw there were a few different plans in contention. Thanks for the update, I must have missed it.

Seems like there is still some operating businesses to the west of 66 St that need to be demolished. An auto repair and used cars place.

I think this project is years away. The City has not initiated any utility relocations yet, so I bet 2026 construction starts for utilities at best.

Their latest schedule (posted May 2024) had 66 Street being a 2025-2026 construction.

I often turn right from YHT onto 66 st, so losing that access for me is a bit of a inconvenience, but I will manage. That intersection is one of my least favourites, so I'm all for this overpass to be built

I think you can exit at the 125 Avenue exit, meeting up with 66 Street.

Yeah that's one possible way around it. I'll probably end up using WGD instead

Just an FYI

Looks like the 66 St area won't be starting construction until 2026. 2025 is for the design phase it sounds like.

Update: Looks like Yellowhead Trail is now fully open west of the St. Alert Trail interchange. Speed limit is 80 km/hr. I think they still need to install some more overhead signs, especially for the exits to St. Albert Trail, 149 St and 156 St.
