The Bridgeland Main Street project, part of The City’s larger Main Streets program, is moving into its next stage of construction, with work being focused on the 1st Avenue NE blocks between 6 and 7 Street NE. This next stage of work is slated to begin on June 27th and last for approximately 8 weeks.

As part of the City’s commitment to creating safer and more accessible streets for all users, the following upgrades are being made at all four corners of the intersection at 5 Avenue + 8 Street NE:

• Curb extensions on the west side to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and increase visibility

• Updated wheelchair ramps on the east side to meet modern accessibility standards

Good news for Calgary: both lanes of the 4 Avenue Flyover are now open during peak hours, ahead of schedule!

Since April, the bridge had been reduced to a single lane of traffic in order to accommodate essential upgrades, extending the life of Calgary’s longest bridge for decades to come.

The 2025 Servus Calgary Marathon is taking place over the weekend of May 24th + 25th. Now in its 61st year, the Calgary Marathon is Canada’s longest running marathon and Alberta’s Best Road Race.

In order to ensure both runner and road user safety, there will be a variety of road closures throughout Calgary. You can view their interactive road closure map to learn more and pre-plan your day.

Are part of the Bridgeland MainStreets project, below is an updated construction schedule for the ongoing utilities work along 1 Avenue NE as part of the ENMAX scope of work.

ENMAX’s contractor will be installing underground utilities along 1 Avenue N.E from Edmonton Trail N.E. to 4 Street N.E. To complete this work safely and efficiently, portions of 1 Avenue N.E. will be closed in stages over the coming weeks.We anticipate the new lane closure and parking changes will begin Friday, May 9, 2025, and will remain in effect for the duration of this stage of the construction (expected to be roughly 8 weeks). 

With the warmer weather comes another busy construction season for The City and the final construction season for the 4th Avenue Flyover. The bridge rehabilitation is still on track (and on budget) to be completed later this fall. 

Crews recently completed another milestone, replacing the right barrier, leaving only a couple of major works left to complete on the bridge: paving and installing the sign structures.   

As part of the ongoing construction along 1 Avenue N.E. in Bridgeland, the City of Calgary will be adjusting road closures on 1 Avenue N.E. and shifting temporary parking restrictions and vehicle detours around the area to help facilitate the safe construction and safe public navigation around new streetscape improvement work.

We anticipate the new lane closure and parking changes will begin Friday, May 9, 2025, and will remain in effect for the duration of this stage of the construction (expected to be roughly 8 weeks). 

Community Cleanup events provide an opportunity for Calgarians to dispose of items that do not fit in their waste and recycling carts. They also support community residents who do not have access to cart service.

All events take place on Saturdays or Sundays (from 9am to 2pm)

On April 27 + 28, 2025. filming activity will be taking place at locations in Bridgeland and Renfrew.

The production company has worked with The City of Calgary to obtain necessary permits and will aim to minimize disruption to residents and visitors as much as possible.
