Highway 15 Bridge Twinning | ?m | ?s

I drove the newly-twinned Hwy 15 from Edmonton to Fort Saskatchewan recently. Good job! I only wish this was done 30 years ago.

It's an exciting time for sure, I look forward to when it will be as normal as the twinned Highway 21 by Sherwood Park now is. The pedestrian bridge is expected to open in 2023 when the connecting work is done, and that'll be a nice addition for the Trans Canada Trail.

This is great for sure, I drove this the other day and was quite pleased.
Now we need to connect the Fort to Edmonton by either LRT line or commuter train.

Drove it this morning. Work being done along 15 at 28. But I wished there were interchanges and not lights. Which I don't think they are installing at 28 yet.

Interchanges would be best especially at the road that is used quite a lot for Fort Mac traffic.

A new interchange in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland will improve safety, support the movement of heavy trucks and boost economic growth in the region.

What theatrics by the UCP to state the project is now officially open.

Interesting that they would build an interchange at 15 and 830 before 16 and 830.

I think that’s primarily because they need to grade separate the CN rail crossing just north of highway 15. An interchange solves that problem. A problem that doesn't exist at the Yellowhead. But saying that, I would agree that there is a greater need for an interchange at Highway 16. That intersection is very unsafe.
