Scope of work
The overall scope of work included constructing a pedestrian tunnel at 72 Avenue S.E., a vehicle underpass at 78 Avenue S.E., and upgrading a portion of 78 Avenue from Ogden Road east to the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) rail line, including new utilities and roadworks to support long-term infrastructure needs. On the east side of the embankment, a new roundabout connecting to Ogden Dale Road was also constructed to create a new entrance in and out of the industrial area.
As an early works project, this work enhances transportation and pedestrian safety in the area and supports the future construction of the Green Line SE Project.
The Green Line alignment will run parallel and west of the current CPKC rail line in Ogden, with its own bridge to cross 78 Avenue S.E. The Ogden Station will be located near 72 Avenue S.E.

Other work included installation and upgrades of stormwater infrastructure and other utility installations, including a manhole at Ogden Road and 78 Avenue S.E., and landscaping and sidewalk improvements.
Once the underpass is open towards the end of July, , 78 Avenue S.E. will become the new connection between Ogden and the industrial area east of the CPKC rail tracks. However, 78 Avenue S.E. will not be designated as a truck route.
72 Avenue area
A pedestrian tunnel near 72 Avenue S.E. has been built to connect the future Ogden Station to Ogden Dale Road S.E. This tunnel will remain closed until the future Ogden station opens. The tunnel is currently fenced for safety reasons.

69 Avenue
Once the underpass at 78 Avenue S.E. is open to traffic, 69 Avenue S.E. at the CPKC tracks will be closed permanently.
78 Avenue S.E. will become the new connection between Ogden Road and Ogden Dale Road S.E.
