The City of Edmonton continues to invest in maintaining and renewing bridge infrastructure to ensure safety and longevity. Through the Bridge Renewal Program, the City conducts regular inspections, maintenance and rehabilitation work to prevent unplanned closures and keep Edmonton’s bridges in good condition.
Key updates for 2025
Wellington Bridge: Replacement of the bridge will begin in late 2025, aligning with anticipated completion of the Valley Line West LRT road work on Stony Plain Road. The bridge is expected to reopen by late 2026, with landscaping finished in 2027.
Dawson Bridge: Repairs starting in summer 2025 will extend the bridge’s service life. This work will require occasional night and weekend closures. Intermittent lane reductions are also expected. Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Low Level Bridge (Southbound): Maintenance will require a full closure of the southbound structure starting in late summer/fall 2025. Southbound traffic will be rerouted to the northbound Low Level Bridge, while northbound traffic will shift to 98 Avenue (James MacDonald Bridge). Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
High Level Bridge: Design for renewal is in progress, with construction timelines to be determined.
The City is coordinating bridge work with other road and utility projects to minimize disruptions and maintain access to Edmonton’s core. Traffic management plans will be further communicated as specific project construction timelines are confirmed.
