Pathway Information

Alberta Transportation (AT) has provided the following information regarding the pathway beneath the Stoney Trail bridge, from Valley Ridge to Bowness Park, (Area of Interest in above schematic) during construction of the West Calgary Ring Road (WCRR).

The Interim Pathway Schematic shown below is a blow-up of the Area of Interest from the above schematic and was provided by AT in late April 2019. Note the blow-up of the schematic shown below is with the North-South direction oriented to the upper right. The YELLOW line represents the alignment of the new pathway post-construction. The schematic also shows the position of the future, twinned Stoney Trail bridge with the position of the new southbound lanes of Stoney Trail to the west of the existing Stoney Trail lanes.

In the Fall of 2019, the entire pathway connection down the slope to Bowness Park will close for one month. This is necessary for public safety reasons while an alternative access staircase (with a bicycle access ramp included to wheel bicycles up and down) is built. Once built, the staircase will be the only connector for the pathway above and the pathway below, for the duration of the bridge twinning construction.

Upon completion of the bridge construction (2-3 years or by the end of 2022), the pathway temporary closure segment shown in RED will reopen, once again providing a complete paved pathway.

This closure will be publicly signed and advertised in advance.
