DEERFOOT TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS
2026 Top100 Projects Rank: 89 Value: $800 Million
GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA
THE DEERFOOT TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT has reached a
signi昀椀cant milestone with the completion of the
new Ivor Strong Bridge.
As construction continues on one of Alberta’s
busiest transportation corridors, tra昀케c shifted to
the new Ivor Strong Bridge, and rehabilitation
began on the existing bridge. The new bridge
opened to tra昀케c on July 27.
The new Ivor Strong Bridge will carry
all southbound tra昀케c, while the existing
bridge—once rehabilitation is complete—will
be dedicated to northbound vehicles. Both
structures will feature four lanes in each
direction. Construction continues across other
sections of Deerfoot Trail, with crews focusing
on completing other bridge structures, installing
barriers and lighting, and paving.
Improvements on the existing Ivor Strong
Bridge include removal of the existing concrete
median barrier; expansion joint retro昀椀tting;
and removal of existing streetlight poles.
