A big thank you to affected Calgarians for your patience during construction.
Project overview
The City of Calgary undertook significant roadway improvements in the 144 Avenue N.W. area. Construction began in spring 2022 for an extension of 144 Avenue N.W. from 24 Street N.W. (Panorama Road), through Symons Valley Road to Sage Hill Drive N.W.
The project included:
- 1.2km of new arterial roadway;
- a bridge crossing over West Nose Creek;
- an expansion to the multi-use pathway system further linking to the 5A cycle network; and
- improvements to the transportation network and connectivity in the area for all modes of travel

Project background
From 2018 - 2020, The City completed a Functional Planning Study for 144 Ave. N.W. to look at the general design and location of the road between Symons Valley Road N.W. and Panorama Road N.W., including the West Nose Creek crossing and the eventual realignment of Symons Valley Road onto Mountain View Road. Current and future development of communities and land adjacent to 144 Ave. N.W., such as within the Glacier Ridge Area Structure Plan (ASP), has prioritized the need for The City to improve the transportation network in the area.
Near the northwestern edge of Calgary, 144 Ave. N.W. is an arterial street located between the rapidly developing communities of Evanston, Nolan Hill, and Sage Hill, and major skeletal roads including Sarcee Trail, Shaganappi Trail and Symons Valley Road. The only continuous east-west connection north of Stoney Trail, 144 Ave. N.W. provides an important link for all modes of transportation now and into the future.
