Stony Plain Road bridge demolition and Groat Road closure start December 29
December 28, 2022
Starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, December 29, Stony Plain Road from 129 Street to 131 Street and Groat Road from 107 Avenue to River Valley Road, including the shared-use path, will be closed as Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) begin demolishing the Stony Plain Road Bridge. Replacement of the bridge is required for the Valley Line West LRT project.
Groat Road is expected to be closed until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. Drivers are reminded to give themselves extra travel time. Vehicle detour routes include Victoria Park Road, 149 Street to Whitemud Drive, and 109 Street to High Level Bridge. Northbound and southbound pedestrian and bicycle traffic should use 102 Avenue to Victoria Promenade. Edmontonians can also use Ramsay Ravine near Government House Park as a detour.
Eastbound and westbound vehicle and pedestrian traffic across Stony Plain Road Bridge will be detoured to 102 Avenue or 107 Avenue until fall 2024.
We understand the closure of the bridge will have an impact on the community and local businesses. The City is working closely with MIP to minimize disruptions and will monitor traffic flow once Stony Plain Road between 129 Street and 131 Street is closed.
Please exercise caution and follow all construction signage in the area. The City thanks motorists, pedestrians and cyclists for their patience while we work to complete this transformative project.
