The Blackfoot Trail LRT Bridge is a key piece of infrastructure for the Green Line, designed to carry trains over Blackfoot Trail S.E. just south of the 26 Avenue S.E. station.

Scope of work

The scope of work for this project includes site grading, erosion and sediment control, drilling of concrete piles to build the foundation for the bridge abutments, construction of the bridge abutments, and construction of the bridge itself, which will feature prestressed concrete I‑beams for the girders and a concrete deck supporting both the train tracks and a multi‑use pathway.

July 2026 Update

Construction of the Blackfoot Trail LRT bridge continued to make strong progress in July, with crews completing the concrete pour for the bridge's multi-use pathway deck. This milestone marks the first deck pour on the structure and further advances work on the future shared pathway connection.

Following the pour, wet curing of the multi-use pathway curb began, while deck and curb finishing activities, including sanding and chipping, continue.

Crews also made significant progress preparing the main bridge deck for its upcoming concrete pour later this summer, including work to support drainage and future track installation.

Restoration work at both the north and south abutments is also ongoing as construction progresses.
