Memorial Drive N.W. Pedestrian Overpass

The pedestrian overpass connecting 9A Street N.W. to the LRT Bridge is closed for Sunnyside Flood Barrier construction until Spring 2026. Pedestrians can detour to the10 Street N.W. or 9 Street N.W. crossings, and cyclists can use the 1 Avenue N.W. to 9 Street N.W. roadway detour.

Summer months tend to be busy and Calgarians use our pathways and bikeways extensively. Periodically pathways may need to be closed due to maintenance, construction work or other unsafe conditions. Temporarily closing pathways and setting up detours allows work to be completed as quickly as possible, while keeping both citizens and workers safe.

Pathway closures due to slope stability follow best practice in slope stability management to ensure a safe re-opening. For more information, visit the Slope stability management policy and framework.

Thank you for your patience during construction.

Snow on our pathways

Is it snowing? To make it easier for Calgarians to use the pathway system, maintenance activities include clearing snow from approximately 400 kilometers of paved (regional) pathways, usually within 24 hours of a snowfall.
