Project background
The City of Calgary is building a new 2-kilometre-long feeder main which is an essential piece of water infrastructure that will bring clean and reliable drinking water to current and future development within the East Belvedere community.
The feeder main is being constructed in phases.
- Phase 1 includes the installation of a feeder main along Memorial Drive from 68 Street S.E. to 84 Street S.E. and then eastward along a future extension of Memorial Drive.
- Phase 2a, where construction also starts this fall, includes the portion from 84 Street S.E. to 100 Street S.E. along the future extension of Memorial Drive.
- Phase 2b, which was completed this spring (2025) includes the portion on 100 Street S.E. on the future extension of Memorial Drive travelling south to 17 Avenue S.E.
Construction for Phase 1 is expected to begin winter 2025. Phase 2a began fall 2025. The first section of construction takes place in the grassed area east of Memorial Drive. The entire feeder main is expected to be complete by fall of 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this feeder main needed?
With Calgary’s population growing, this feeder main is needed to support current and future growth in the East Belvedere area.
When will construction start?
Our contractor is finalizing plans and we expect to begin mobilizing to the site in early/mid December 2025.
What area will construction begin in?
We are starting just east of 68th Street S.E. in the grassed area south of Abalone Way. Residents who back onto that area will be notified via construction notices that will be delivered to their homes prior to construction. These will detail the specific impacts and timelines.
What is happening to the cement barriers that have artwork that were at the end of Memorial Drive?
We will be moving these permanently and they will not be required in the future as Memorial Drive is being extended as part of Memorial Drive Extension project.
Will any trees be removed as part of the project?
We did have to remove some trees in the greenspace area east of Memorial Drive and we are making our best effort to replant the trees in consultation with the Community Association. So far we have relocated 15 trees and will replant trees we are unable to relocate to sustain our City’s tree canopy.
Will the intersection of Memorial Drive and 68th Street be closed?
There may be lane closures but we plan to keep traffic flowing in all directions. We will have more information on this as we get closer to construction in this area which we estimate will be in Q1 of 2026.
