88 Street S.E. extension - between Stoney Trail and 196 Avenue
Project update - July 7, 2020
Construction has now begun on this project. It’s anticipated that the roadway will be completed by the end of 2020 with final completion in the summer of 2021.
About the project
By extending 88 Street S.E., we're building new connections and supporting future communities and development. Here's what the extension will do for Calgary's southeast:
- Extends 88 Street S.E. from Stoney Trail to 196 Avenue S.E.
- Doubles the capacity of the road with two northbound and two southbound lanes
- Accommodates future development
- Reduces congestion on 52 Street S.E., once 196 Avenue is connected
- Adds a second access to the Mahogany community and access to the new Rangeview communities, east of 88 Street S.E.
