Upcoming Yellowhead Trail reductions to stay in effect until freeway conversion is done in 2027

Starting Saturday, more Yellowhead Trail traffic reductions will come into effect and last until 2027.

This statement is disconcerting, “the segment from St.Albert Tr. to 97 St will be the last to be completed.” So NO 66 St work then?

If you look at the project timeline, it says that stretch (St Albert Tr to 97 St) is to be completed in 2027. I believe the 66 St area is currently slated to start and finish in 2026.

Gee whiz...what can they possibly build during 1 single construction season? Guess 66th is only getting a curb/gutter replacement and that's all......

It's going to be an interim right-in right-out; the overpass will be done down the road separately. No idea what that'll mean for active modes of transportation though.

Man, just finish the project now and be done with it.

I wonder if this has to do with the businesses next to the Yellowhead. The car dealership on 66 Street doesn’t look like it’s closing anytime soon.

There's also the huge Trenton Cold Storage building on the NE corner of Yellowhead/66 St. Relocating that monster would be a logistical nightmare.

No need to relocate that building. The right turn lane can be used for a shoulder and 66th Street will be shifted westward. Redseal and Nella West will need to go though

The Copymate building was bought by the City couple years ago and I wouldn’t doubt if the neighbouring properties like Nella were as well.

The city spray "Round Up" on the median on 156th st?

Looks like a lot of weeds!

I just see a huge patch of dead grass…..where there used to be green grass a few days ago……

There's bridge pier construction at the 127 Street overpass.

A moment in history: July 25, 1961

On this day in 1961, plans were underway that would eventually lead to the creation of the Yellowhead Highway and Edmonton's Yellowhead Trail.

What do you see? Girders being strung across yet? Or still ongoing excavation and retaining walls work only?

"The new Yellowhead Trail opened in 1970, although work to add lanes continued until 1984."

That is a typo. I don't think Yellowhead Trail opened until about 1980 or so.
