The current edition of the ACRA Long Range Transportation Plan is dated June 2003. This document lists implementation priorities for regional transportation initiatives within the Long Range Plan. Projects are listed by type (rehabilitation & overlays, new & upgraded facilities) and by proposed timing (one to five years, six to ten years). All projects are illustrated on Map II at the end of the report, color coded and indexed to project numbers found in the tables below. A list of completed projects is contained in Appendix A. Disclaimer on Cost Estimates The costs of projects listed in the Implementation Priorities tables are approximate and general estimates only, intended mainly to quantify the broad financial implications of the ACRA plan priorities. It is known that construction costs in the Edmonton area have increased significantly in recent years, and funding agencies have observed significant spikes in tendered construction costs particularly in the past year. As such, cost estimates for projects that have not been specifically updated by a funding agency have been increased by an arbitrary 20% in order that the cost totals remain representative of the overall financial impacts of the ACRA plan priorities. The arbitrary percentage increase is not related to any specific project(s) nor is it intended as a forecast of an appropriate inflation factor for any funding agency. Individual project costs are not shown in the tables, with costs presented only as subtotal and total values on each table. IP.1.1 STRATEGIC ROADWAY PRIORITIES The region’s top transportation priority continues to be the completion of the Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) by 2011. In looking ahead over the next five years, economic growth within the Capital Region, and movement of goods and people between the Capital Region and key economic activity centres (Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Calgary and Southern Alberta) as well as anticipated expansion of major facilities and economic zones in the region (such as the new CP intermodal facilities, expansion of industrial areas, ongoing development of University of Alberta, Capital Health facilities and Edmonton International Airport) will result in an increased need for an efficient transportation system for the movement of people and goods. The municipalities in the region have recognized this need and have made a number of key decisions to ensure that September 2005 1 dlcw:\active\113537020\report\text_prios.doc ACRA TRANSPORTATION IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES (2006-2015) infrastructure for the future is in place within the municipalities, but the Capital Region is concerned that the Provincial Highway system is not keeping pace with the needs of the Region and the need to improve capacity for the movement of goods and people within the Capital Region and between the Capital Region and key economic activity centres in the Province. The effective functioning of both the system of Ring Roads and key highway links between the Regional Ring, Inner Ring and Anthony Henday Drive require a number of capacity improvements, most of which are Provincial responsibility. As summarized in Figure IP.1, ACRA recommends that the following key investment priorities be addressed by the Province within the next 5 years (2006 to 2011). It is noted that most of the requirements outlined below are not new, and for the most part represent improvements already identified in the list of ACRA Implementation Priorities. Of concern, however, is that none of the priorities listed has been identified for funding by the Province at this time. It is also emphasized that these needs are additional to ongoing requirements for rehabilitation which must be funded as part of base transportation requirements. Anthony Henday Drive The top implementation priority is establishment of Provincial funding commitment to complete Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) by 2011, as a special initiative with funding in addition to the normal priorities for regional transportation facilities. Table IP.1 summarizes the approximate costs. Table IP.1 Anthony Henday Drive Projects Project Project Description Estimated No. Cost ($millions) 124 Design & Construction of Hwy 216 (Anthony Henday Drive) from 137 Avenue to Yellowhead Trail (Northwest quadrant) - by 2008 22/107 Design & Construction of Hwy 216 (Anthony Henday Drive) from 137 Avenue to Hwy 28 (Northwest quadrant) - by 2011 53/109 Design & Construction of Hwy 216 (Anthony Henday Drive) from Hwy 16 East to Hwy 28 (Northeast quadrant) - by 2011 Total 500.00 September 2005 2 dlcw:\active\113537020\report\text_prios.doc ACRA TRANSPORTATION IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES (2006-2015) In addition to this, completion of Anthony Henday Drive as a free flow facility is identified as a strategic priority. In order for Anthony Henday Drive to effectively meet the need for movement of goods within the region and between the region and other key Provincial economic activity zones, it is essential that remaining at-grade intersections be grade separated so that a consistent standard is in place to accommodate the high travel demands and provide required connectivity to adjacent development. These intersections include 23 Avenue (Highway 627), Lessard Road, Callingwood Road, 100 Avenue/Stony Plain Road (Highway 16A) and 111 Avenue. Capital Region to Northeast Alberta Corridor Within the ACRA geographic area, this entails completion of widening of Highway 28A and 28 between Highway 15 and north of Redwater to a four lane standard with appropriate access control. While the completion of the North/South Trade Corridor ensures high standard highway connections between the Capital Region, Calgary and Grande Prairie, no such high standard connection exists to the Fort McMurray area, despite the increasing movement of goods from Nisku, Edmonton’s Industrial areas and the Heartland Industrial area to northeastern Alberta. Completion of the Anthony Henday Drive ring provides for the movement of goods to Highway 15, but improvements to Highway 28A and Highway 28 to beyond Redwater will ensure that the mix of regional and highway traffic along this key route to both Fort McMurray and Cold Lake is accommodated. In addition to the upgrading of this route to accommodate vehicular, passenger and goods movement, a need has also been identified by industry to improve the route required for oversize loads moving between the Capital Region and Northeast Alberta. Regional Ring Road Staged Completion This involves completion of required planning and acquisition of required right of way to establish the Regional Ring Road to an ultimate free flow standard. While active planning is underway to examine alternative alignments for the Regional Ring, ACRA is concerned that any delay in completion of the planning and acquisition of right of way will place at risk the ability to develop the connection to the required standard to accommodate future needs. Particular concern areas are in the Nisku/Airport area, and establishment of future North Saskatchewan River crossing locations. In addition, a staged upgrading plan for the Regional Ring Road needs to be developed that recognizes existing and future traffic volumes and development, as well as opportunities to either upgrade existing alignments or stage development where new alignments are proposed. Existing sections of the regional ring road with September 2005 3 dlcw:\active\113537020\report\text_prios.doc ACRA TRANSPORTATION IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES (2006-2015) high traffic demands include Highway 19, Highway 625 in Nisku, Highway 60 in Acheson and Highway 21 from Highway 16 to south of Highway 14. Improved Regional Linkages This includes improved linkages between the Regional Ring Road, Anthony Henday Drive and key economic activity centres, such as upgrading of key regional Provincial highway linkages between Anthony Henday Drive and the Regional Ring. Based on connectivity between economic activity centres and heavy traffic volumes on key commuter routes, a number of key improvements to the highway linkages are required, including the following priorities, listed moving from the southeast in a clockwise direction. · Widening of SH 814 (50 Street) between Anthony Henday Drive and Beaumont to four lanes · Development of an additional interchange on Highway 2 south near 41 Avenue SW to provide access to Nisku and the planned CP intermodal facility · Improvements to Highway 2 from Highway 2A to and

  • Better Yellowhead Access Coming to Sherwood Park
    Road construction report July 5, 2013 Better Yellowhead access coming to Sherwood Park Preparation for a new Yellowhead Highway overpass will detour access to Sherwood Drive for three months starting July 10 at 9 a.m. From July 10 to October 10, the entrance and exit ramps between eastbound Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16) and Sherwood Drive will be closed as crews relocate sanitary lines and conduct earthwork in preparation for a new interchange being built to increase access and safety for motorists around the community of Sherwood Park. Full closure of these ramps will allow quick, efficient and safe work to be completed. Sherwood Drive will be closed north of Emerald Drive. Two alternate Yellowhead exits are available for those entering or leaving Sherwood Park: Broadmoor Boulevard to the west and Clover Bar Road to the east. Commuters are encouraged to check Yellowhead traffic volume near Clover Bar Road using camera feeds provided by 511 Alberta. The speed limit on Yellowhead will be maintained at 110km/h where traffic will continue to flow freely. Drivers are reminded to obey all flag persons, signs and signals. Fines for speeding are doubled in construction zones when workers are present. When completed in late 2015, the new Sherwood Drive interchange will provide commuters with a new overpass over Yellowhead with four access ramps, an improvement from the one (southbound) exit and one (eastbound) entrance. This will enhance safety and capacity in preparation for increased traffic expected on Yellowhead Trail when the Edmonton Ring Road is completed in fall 2016. Using Alberta’s P3 model for highways allows Northeast Anthony Henday Drive to be finished in 2016, three years earlier than through conventional delivery and at a savings of $370 million for taxpayers.

Previous Council/Committee Action At the November 1, 2016, Executive Committee meeting, the following motion was passed: That Administration provide: a. a report outlining the breakdown by quadrant of infrastructure demand/capacity for arterial roads and primary highways in poor and very poor condition. b. a rating (A, B, C, D, F) for intersections on major arterials and primary highways categorized by quadrant c. some analysis on how this information would inform the prioritization of arterial road addition and widening projects for the next couple of budget cycles and return to Committee in the first quarter of 2018. Executive Summary This report outlines the status and performance of aspects of the road network and how improvements to the network are coordinated between the land development industry and the City. Monitoring indicates that the majority of Edmonton’s arterial road network and primary highways are operating within design capacity, and 94 percent of arterial road intersections in the city are rated A through E. This means they are operating within an acceptable level of service. Twenty intersections (six percent) are rated F. This means they are congested during peak hours. Some of the F rated intersections are in new growth areas where the road network is not fully developed. Other F rated ROUTING - Urban Planning Committee | DELEGATION - P. Ohm/D.

  • News Release
    News release July 16, 2012 Construction digs-in on final leg of Edmonton ring road Final leg of Anthony Henday Drive set to open to traffic in 2016 Edmonton ... The finish line on the Edmonton ring road is in sight with the final northeast leg of the Anthony Henday Drive scheduled to open in fall 2016. “It is very rewarding to turn sod on a project that is so far reaching. This new road improves our quality of life, supports a changing and expanding population and furthers Alberta’s economic growth,” said Minister of Transportation Ric McIver. “This is an exciting step in moving toward the long-range vision of the Edmonton Ring Road that began in the 1970s.” More than 50,000 Albertans use the Henday each day. The ring road, once completed, will change the way residents in the Capital Region connect with the people and services that matter to them – reducing commute times and traffic congestion. It will also dramatically benefit industry that uses the freeway as a vital route in all four directions, getting our products to market more quickly and efficiently. The Alberta government signed a 34-year contract with the Capital City Link General Partnership to design, build, operate, and partially finance Northeast Anthony Henday Drive. The public-private partnership (P3) contract is worth $1.81 billion in 2012 dollars, to be paid over the term of the contract, and follows a P3 selection process which began in March 2011. This is a savings of $370 million, compared to the estimated cost of $2.18 billion using traditional delivery.
