About The Project

Improvements at the Ivor Strong Bridge, Anderson Road & Bow Bottom Trail, Southland Drive, and Glenmore Trail are being delivered through one Design-Build contract. During a Design-Build, the project is designed and constructed concurrently. This allows a project to be delivered in a shorter period and provides the contractor with more opportunity to be innovative to meet the requirements of the contract. Improvements at 64 Avenue NE (completed Fall 2023), Beddington Trail NW & 11 Street NE, McKnight Boulevard NE, and 16 Avenue NE are being delivered through four separate Design-Bid-Build contracts. During a Design-Bid-Build, the project is fully designed, then bid, then constructed.
