The City of Edmonton wrapped up the 2025 construction season, delivering progress on more than 200 infrastructure projects across the city.
“Edmonton is one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities,” said Mayor Andrew Knack. “As we welcome more new residents, the City is planning and building the infrastructure needed to support this growth. This includes making sure people and goods can move efficiently, creating spaces where communities can connect, and providing exceptional facilities for our emergency services.”
The City’s infrastructure projects follow The City Plan and are outlined in the 2023-2026 Capital Budget, which balances the renewal and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure assets with strategic planning for growth. The 2025 construction season budget was $1.5 billion and includes several multi-year projects. City infrastructure projects directly employ thousands of people in the Edmonton region. Local companies are involved with building some of the City’s largest infrastructure projects, supplying everything from raw materials and building supplies to specialized labour and technical services.
The City expects to complete approximately 60 of the 200 active projects that were in planning, design and construction at the start of the year.
“We are building with purpose, adapting and re-imagining our built environment to improve how Edmontonians live, move and connect,” said Sara Nichols, Deputy City Manager, Integrated Infrastructure Services. “We accomplished a lot in 2025, and I look forward to continuing this momentum next year as our teams continue to deliver high-quality infrastructure for Edmontonians.”
Among the projects completed this year are O-day’min Park (Warehouse Park Project) in downtown Edmonton, the Amisk wâciw âsokan – Beaver Hills Bridge (Strathcona County Footbridge Project), the Holyrood Supportive Housing Project and Blatchford Fire Station #8.
Significant progress was also made on transformational projects, including the Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion, Valley Line West and Capital Line South LRT, William Hawrelak Park Rehabilitation, Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre and Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre Rehabilitation.
“I want to thank Edmontonians for their patience during the construction season,” said Mayor Knack. “I understand that traffic delays and road closures can be frustrating, but this work is vital. The improvements we’re making are building a stronger, more resilient and sustainable city that will serve Edmontonians for generations to come.”
