Proposed Changes

The City of Edmonton will be making improvements to Yellowhead Trail between Wayne Gretzky Drive and 61 Street. This work includes removing the signalized intersection at 66 Street and nearby direct accesses along Yellowhead Trail to support safe and efficient traffic flow.
While the long-term plan for the freeway includes a partial interchange at 66 Street (22MB) the City will advance work now to improve safety and traffic operations in the area. 

Planning and design are underway to:

  • Removal of the signalized intersection at Yellowhead Trail and 66 Street
  • Close nearby direct access points at 62 Street, 67 Street and 68 Street north and south of Yellowhead Trail
  • Identify and develop new access options for local traffic between 66 Street and Yellowhead Trail
  • Provide alternative access routes for surrounding communities
  • Establish new pedestrian and active transportation connections along Yellowhead Trail and 66 Street
