78 Ave LRT Bridge
The 78 Avenue LRT bridge will run parallel to the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway line. Expanding on the 78 Avenue Project completed in 2025, the bridge will carry Green Line trains over 78 Avenue S.E., which connects to Ogden Dale Road S.E. through the new roundabout built on the east side of the railway line.
Scope of work
Work includes preparing the site, implementing erosion and sediment control measures, building the bridge foundations and abutments, and constructing the bridge structure, which includes pre-cast concrete girders and a concrete bridge deck.

August 2026 Update
Construction of the 78 Avenue LRT bridge reached several significant milestones throughout August, marking a major step forward for the project.
Crews successfully completed the bridge's retaining walls and bridge abutments, establishing the critical foundation structures that support the future bridge and connect it to the surrounding roadway.
The project also achieved one of its most significant construction milestones with the installation of seven precast concrete girders, each weighing approximately 32,000 kilograms. These massive structural beams now span 78 Avenue S.E., forming the main structure of the bridge and giving it its recognizable shape.
With these key elements now in place, the bridge is becoming a more visible feature of the project area, providing a clear indication of the progress being made toward completion of the future Green Line LRT crossing.
