142 St Bridge over Whitemud Drive
The City is accepting feedback on options for the 142 St Bridge over Whitemud Drive until March 5.
This important connection is a significant "missing link", isolating neighbours from each other, cut off by Terwillegar Drive and Whitemud Drive freeways.
Three options have been presented for feedback. Our recommendation is Option 2: the most direct path.
This is cheaper than the long span of Option 1, and avoids potential slopes and confusing, needless detours of Option 3.
Concept Idea 2: direct connection
The pedestrian bridge is part of the Terwillegar Drive Expansion project, a three-phase project to turn Terwillegar Drive into an expressway, widening Rainbow Valley Bridge, constructing additional lanes onto Terwillegar Drive and 170 St, and upgrading both interchanges at Whitemud Drive and at the Anthony Henday. The initial two phases are expected to cost at least $223 million.
