Status: Scheduled for completion in 2011.

Project Details: Work has on a desperately needed interchange at Stony Plain Road and Anthony Henday Drive. According to the province, the design-build P3 method of delivery will get the interchange up and running faster than would the traditional method of delivery. The Stony Plain Road interchange will be a full systems interchange with free flow in all directions and will include seven bridges. Construction on Anthony Henday Drive will extend from Whitemud Drive to south of Yellowhead Trail in west Edmonton. This is Alberta Transportation’s first pure design-build project.
