The newly-twinned bridge over the Bow River that is part of the West Calgary Ring Road is pictured on Oct. 19, 2023.On Thursday, Transportation and Economic Corridors Minister Devin Dreeshen announced the new, west bridge crossing the Bow River was open and the old, east bridge was open to one lane of traffic. The other lanes are scheduled to open “in the coming days” following repaving.
With the west portion of the ring road nearing completion, Dreeshen said he expects the full 101-kilometre circumnavigation to be complete early next year, far earlier than originally thought. “It was a significant investment that the province put in, but happy to say that it is on budget and on time.”
Calgary-Bow MLA Demetrios Nicolaides recognized the construction journey hasn’t always been smooth for his constituents.
