Ogden Road Realignment

June 24, 2026

Stations: Lynnwood/Millican, Ogden

Status: Current

Type: Utilities

The realignment of Ogden Road S.E. between roughly the Canadian National Railway rail bridge and 69 Avenue S.E. is required to make room for the Green Line alignment, which will run between the realigned Ogden Road and the Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway line.

Throughout construction, parking and access to Pop Davies Athletic Park will be maintained, along with vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist access along Ogden Road and Millican Road. The informal gravel parking along the west side of the current Ogden Road will be permanently removed as part of this work to make room for the new Ogden Road.

Scope of work

In addition to the road realignment, the scope of work includes installing a water mainline, storm and sewer lines, adding a multi-use pathway along the west side of Ogden Road, constructing a new asphalt parking lot with approximately 100 stalls at the south end of Pop Davies Athletic Park, and completing landscaping and other related work.

June 2026 Update

Work continues on the Ogden Road realignment project, with several key activities advancing across the site.

Installation of the stormwater tank in the new parking lot at the south end of Pop Davies Athletic Park is underway.

Construction of the storm trunk line is also progressing, with backfilling activities currently underway. Storm trunk lines play an important role in managing runoff by collecting water from smaller sewer lines and directing it safely to a major outfall.

The project team is reviewing options for the remaining watermain tie-in at the north end of the project site. This connection will integrate the new infrastructure with the existing water distribution system. 

To support the recreation season, the contractor has adjusted the construction site setup at Pop Davies Athletic Park, including implementing revised parking arrangements to help maintain access for park users while construction continues nearby.
