Terwillegar Drive Expansion

[Habibfazil]

That exit, southbound to twig to the left was always an issue, very strange and iirc the first in town, yet there are now lots of them, so maybe it wasn't so bad.

Agree, logically exits should be on the right hand side, and on one proposal I saw, the 40th avenue exits were totally eliminated....

The exits on the right hand side makes sense, and they also have the left side merge onto Northbound traffic moved to the right hand side but, it's a left side exit from twig onto whitemud...

Back in concept planning there was this expensive looking interchange

This is what was needed and should have been built there.

The left exits live to see another 4 decades.

I blame that all on the selfish Bulyea residents that were like “but muh access to Terwillegar Drive via 40th Ave.” Look at how much more complexity that would have added to the interchange to accommodate ramps to 40th.

Nice as that alignment would be... it probably triples the existing project budget of $163m.

Disappointed the new bridge won’t follow the terwillegar alignment. But this is a decent compromise. Feels a little redundant to rabbit hill while there’s still nothing serving terwillegar drive or west. But better than nothing.

Eliminating the need to cross at all the intersections on Rabbit Hill Road will be nice.

Looks like the concrete has been poured on the westbound Rainbow Valley bridge expansion. Still lots to do as the roadway before and after the bridge still not complete. The pedestrian bridge piers are lonely.

We won't see that deck open this year.
