Groat Road 107 Ave to River Valley Road CLOSED AUG 10- 14

Edmonton’s Groat Road is set to close next weekend so construction crews can work on a new bridge.

From Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. to Aug. 14 at 6 a.m., Groat Road will be closed from 107 Avenue to River Valley Road, to install the Stony Plain Road bridge girders, the city said in a news release.

Construction crews will be installing girders to support the new Stony Plain Road bridge, which was demolished in December 2022.

The new bridge is being built to be wide enough to accommodate the Valley Line West LRT as well as vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, according to the City of Edmonton.

Groat roads shared-use path will also close for the proposed bridge work in the area.

All travellers—including drivers, cyclists and pedestrians—are advised to take alternate routes and follow signage in the area. Drivers are reminded to give themselves extra travel time.

Vehicle detours include Victoria Park Road, 149 Street to Whitemud Drive and 109 Street to High Level Bridge. Northbound and southbound pedestrian and bicycle traffic should use 102 Avenue to Victoria Promenade and Ramsay Ravine near Government House Park as a detour.
