Tree Removals
Crews will remove select trees within the project area. The project team has worked closely with the City’s Urban Forestry Team to minimize the number of trees removed and to ensure existing trees are protected during construction. See the Construction Bulletin for more information.
Building Demolition
Several buildings will be demolished along the north side of Yellowhead Trail, between 129 Street and 121 Street.
127 Street Detour
127 Street and Yellowhead Trail will be realigned to facilitate construction of the new 127 Street interchange. No left turns in any direction will be permitted at the Yellowhead Trail/127 Street intersection while this detour is in place.
Utility Relocations
Crews are relocating and constructing a number of underground gas, power, telecommunication, sanitary, storm and water lines in the project area.
The drainage work includes the construction of a storm sewer tunnel along the south side of Yellowhead Trail from 131 Street to 121 Street to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall events. In 2023, crews will construct entry and exit shafts near 121 Street and the intersection near 124 Avenue and 131 Street.
