14 Street Ramp to Westbound Glenmore Trail Bridge Rehabilitation
The three spans cast-in-place box girder bridge was built in 1978 and carries two traffic lanes across Glenmore Trail S.W. The physical condition of various elements of this bridge has declined to the point where work is required to keep the bridge in service.
The project aims at rehabilitating deteriorated bridge elements and extending the service life of the bridge. Maintaining bridges is key to minimizing deterioration and keeping drivers and Calgarians safe.
Project update - September 2023
14 Street Ramp S.W. to Glenmore Trail
Crews have completed barrier and expansion joint work on the west side and have transitioned to the east side of the ramp.
- Starting on Aug 31, 2023, traffic will be shifted to the left side of the bridge. A single lane will be accessible on the Northbound 14 Street Ramp to Westbound Glenmore Trail and the posted driving speed will be reduced. Crews will work on the west side of the bridge.
- On Glenmore Trail traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction from 9 p.m. - 5 a.m.
The work is anticipated to be completed by fall 2023.
Access will be maintained throughout construction, but motorists may use alternate routes when possible.
We will make every effort to limit impacts on traffic; however, motorists are advised to expect delays. Please watch for crews and follow posted signage.
Please be advised that construction is dependent on weather, availability of materials, and site conditions. Updates to traffic staging will be posted online. Thank you for your cooperation.
