Noise Barrier Lifecycle program

About the Noise Barrier Lifecycle Program

The City of Calgary works hard to keep noise barriers in good shape through the Noise Barrier Lifecycle Replacement program. Replacing old noise barriers extends their service life by about 50 years.

The construction process involves the removal of existing posts, panels and some foundations. Then, new piles, posts, foundations and panels are put in place.

Project update - August 2024

Five noise barriers will be replaced throughout the Spring – December 2024.

Please see locations and maps below:
