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.

In support of the City of Calgary’s Bridgeland Main Street Project, our partner, ENMAX, will be completing important utility upgrades. This work will include burying overhead powerlines and installing upgraded utility equipment along 1 Ave N.E.

To complete the work, there will be a full closure of the 1 Ave N.E. and 6 St. N.E. intersection for approximately 1 week. Work will begin the week of March 24, 2025. Construction is expected to last 4 weeks.

The 4th Avenue Flyover is well on its way to being completed later this year, with construction moving forward steadily and crews working hard to keep the project on track.
