Stoney Trail at 80 Avenue N.E. flyover

The speed limit on Stoney Trail close to the construction area may be reduced to 80 km/h during construction. There may also be delays due to reduced and/or partial lane closures. Access will still be maintained in both directions on Stoney Trail and we will make every effort to limit impacts on traffic; however, motorists are advised to expect delays and use alternate routes when possible.

In 2018, City Council approved the East Stoney Area Structure Plan (ASP), which included plans for a flyover across Stoney Trail at 80 Avenue N.E. The primary purpose of this flyover is to reduce fire service response times from Station 32 to the East Stoney Area and the overpass was considered a requirement for area development to proceed.

The flyover is required to provide the 7-minute emergency response time for the Calgary Fire Department approved by Council to the future development east of Stoney Trail. This development area is not large enough to support the capital and operating costs required for a stand-alone emergency response station.

The flyover will be a two-way, single lane bridge that will be operated by traffic signals and automated gates on each end to control the direction of travel for emergency and transit vehicles and prevent public vehicles from accessing the flyover.  The flyover also includes a multiuse pathway on the southside to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
