The City and Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) continue to make steady progress on the Valley Line West accelerated roadwork plan, with the following updates to some of the key intersection and corridor work.
Phase 1 update
- Stony Plain Road at 124 Street reopened to traffic on June 11, one week ahead of schedule.
- Stony Plain Road at 156 Street is anticipated to reopen to traffic on or around July 10, on schedule. The intersection was partially closed to vehicles on April 21.
- 87 Avenue at Meadowlark Road is anticipated to reopen to traffic on or around July 9, on schedule. The intersection was partially closed to vehicles on May 1.
Phase 2 update
In late July, the intersection of 95 Avenue at 156 Street will be partially closed to traffic for approximately nine weeks. Road signage has been posted near the intersection to give advance notice to the public, commuters and businesses about upcoming traffic impacts. MIP will also release a detailed bulletin with more information on the traffic and pedestrian impacts in the area, including a map, before the work begins.
Edmonton Transit Service’s Route 7 will detour to 163 Street and 100 Avenue during this work. A temporary On Demand Transit zone has been created to assist riders during this closure, with a new On Demand Hub at 149 Street and 100 Avenue to facilitate transfers.

Steady progress continues at the intersection of Stony Plain Road at 142 Street. This intersection was partially closed in mid-June, and is anticipated to reopen in mid-August.
Phase 3
Work at the intersection of Stony Plain Road and 149 Street will not start until the work at Stony Plain Road and 142 Street is completed.
Construction continues along 104 Avenue between 105 Street and 121 Street. The work has reduced 104 Avenue to one lane eastbound and one lane westbound. This work is anticipated to continue for the remainder of the construction season.
The three-phase accelerated roadwork plan started in mid-April and is anticipated to continue until the end of November. The plan will reduce the overall duration of traffic restrictions by more than half, and take many of the roads along the Valley Line West alignment to their final configuration by the end of 2025.
The City and MIP recognize this work is disruptive to commuters, residents and businesses, and we appreciate everyone’s continued patience.
Valley Line West construction is anticipated to be complete in 2028, followed by an extensive testing and commissioning phase to ensure safety and reliability before the line opens.
