A map of the closures expected for the low-level bridge.
Starting July 28, rehabilitation will begin on the southbound Low Level Bridge in Edmonton.
The work will include repairs and strengthening to extend the structure’s lifespan and ensure the bridge remains a safe and reliable river crossing.
The city of Edmonton said this work is necessary and will impact travel in and out of downtown.
Starting July 28, there will be no northbound traffic on the Low Level Bridge. Northbound traffic will be detoured to the James MacDonald/98 Avenue Bridge for the duration of construction.
There will be temporary single-lane closures on the southbound Low Level Bridge during off-peak hours and two-lane traffic will remain during afternoon peak traffic hours.
Drivers can expect some full closures of the southbound bridge.
In early-mid August, once the traffic crossover is complete, southbound traffic will shift to the northbound Low Level Bridge. Two lanes of southbound traffic will resume for the duration of construction.
The southbound bridge will be fully closed during construction.
People walking, cycling and rolling can continue to cross the river using the sidewalk on the northbound Low Level Bridge the city said.
Two Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) bus stops that service northbound traffic on the Low Level Bridge will be temporarily closed: McDougall Hill and Grierson Hill (Stop ID: 1190) and Low Level Bridge and 98 Avenue (Stop ID: 2134).
Routes 8, 500X, 511, and 523 will be on detour.
Construction is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025.
