Nighttime work along 1 Ave and Edmonton Trail N.E. – May 11 - May 31

As part of the Bridgeland Main Street Project, ENMAX Power is continuing utility upgrades along 1 Avenue N.E. Starting May 11, ENMAX will be installing underground utilities at the intersection of 1 Ave and Edmonton Trail N.E for approximately two weeks, depending on underground and weather conditions. ENMAX is required to complete this important utility work at nighttime due to daytime construction restrictions along Edmonton Trail.

Continuing ENMAX work – 1 Ave N.E.

After the night work at the intersection is complete, ENMAX will continue with daytime utility installation along 1 Ave N.E., from 4 St. to Edmonton Trail N.E. Each stage is expected to last 4-6 weeks, depending on weather conditions.

A Wrap on the 2024 Construction Season

In 2024, we completed the streetscape improvements and infrastructure upgrades: on the north side of 1 Avenue N.E. between 6 Street to 7A Street N.E. and from 8A Street to 11 Street N.E.; also, improvements were made on the south side of 1 Avenue N.E. between 7A Street to 9A Street N.E. Additionally, five intersections along 2 Avenue N.E. were upgraded in 2024 as part of the Bridgeland Main Street project. This included widening sidewalks and upgrading street lighting to improve pedestrian safety, providing street furniture to enhance pedestrian comfort, beautifying the area with the addition of new naturalized turfs, decorative grasses, and new trees.
