The Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion involves converting the existing corridor from an expressway with signalized intersections to a free-flowing freeway with grade-separated interchanges. The upgrade will eliminate eight intersections, build two new interchanges, modify three existing intersections, and build new collector roads. Construction on the project continued in 2023, including: Fort Road Widening (Yellowhead Trail to 66 Street); continuing work on the 156 Street to St. Albert Trail project; and early construction activities on the St. Albert Trail to 97 Street project. This year, work on the Fort Road Widening project focused on completing the Canadian National Rail (CN) bridge over Fort Road and removing the temporary bridge detours. Construction along the St. Albert Trail to 97 Street project includes building demolition, installation of underground infrastructure and construction of a detour road around the future 127 Street interchange.
