The 4th Avenue Flyover Rehabilitation project in Calgary

The 4th Avenue Flyover Rehabilitation project in Calgary is entering its final construction season, and the City of Calgary has announced some upcoming closures to facilitate the completion of this significant infrastructure work.

Memorial Drive Lane Closure:
- Starting from the week of May 26, 2023, there will be a lane closure on westbound Memorial Drive beginning at 9 Street S.E., which is expected to last for approximately two weeks.

Full Bridge Closures:
- The flyover will undergo full closures on the following dates and times:
  - From 9 PM on Friday, May 30, to 5 AM on Monday, June 2
  - From 9 PM on Thursday, June 5, to 5 AM on Friday, June 6
  - From 9 PM on Friday, June 6, to 5 AM on Monday, June 9

These closures are essential to ensure the safety of both the workers and the public, as well as to allow for the efficient execution of the project. The final construction phase involves complex work that requires the full closure of the bridge.

Motorists and commuters are advised to plan alternative routes and allow for additional travel time during these periods. The city is encouraging the use of the Zoo Bridge, 12 Avenue S.E., and Deerfoot Trail as detour options.

The rehabilitation of the 4th Avenue Flyover is a critical project aimed at addressing the aging infrastructure and enhancing safety and traffic flow in the area. The project includes structural repairs, deck replacements, and upgrades to the bridge's waterproofing and drainage systems.

For the most up-to-date information on the project, including any changes in the construction schedule due to weather or other factors, please visit the City of Calgary's project website or follow their official social media channels. Signage will also be placed in the area to inform residents and travelers about the closures and recommended detour routes.
