With the Valley Line LRT, it looks like more traffic at 90 Avenue approaching 85 Street. I'm guessing there will be more traffic taking that way (50 Street) to Mill Woods from downtown once the 50 Street bridge is complete.

The slope north of 82 Avenue is being built (about 10 feet tall), and the intersection between Sherwood Park Freeway and the tracks is complete.

Looks like the south slope of the bridge has been filled to the same level as the 80 Avenue intersection.

The south slope has been filled to bridge level, and the north slope is rising.

I will next time I'm in the vicinity, although who knows when that will be. I'm rarely there.

So based off of the pictures and the project website, when will this side of the bridge open?

This fall, I’m guessing October.

Looking good, will there be a second overpass, and how long for it to open?

Im not usually a “we need road upgrades” kinda guy but this is one I cant wait to have completed.

Yes, once the northbound overpass opens, they will remove the existing level crossing and build a second overpass for the southbound lanes. The whole project is supposed to be complete in 2026.
