12th Street NE Bridge Mobility Improvements
The way Calgarians get around is changing. More people are choosing to walk, scoot, skateboard, or cycle for their daily commute to work or school, for errands and for fun. As a city, we want to provide convenient and attractive transportation choices for Calgarians of all ages and abilities.
This project will provide a wider sidewalk for walking and wheeling, improved pedestrian crossings, and a better connection within the pathway and bikeway network.
Construction will begin in late August and is anticipated to be complete by late 2022. One lane of traffic will be closed to vehicles to ensure crews can work efficiently and safely. Pedestrian detours will also be in place. Please note any signage, barriers, and markings in the area.
