Construction for the highly anticipated Green Line project in Ogden has officially entered its next phase, which will include road closures in the area.
The Green Line, a 46-kilometre light rail transit line, is set to connect communities in the southeast and north-central areas of Calgary. The project has been in the works for several years and is expected to greatly improve public transportation in the city.
According to the City of Calgary, the next phase of construction will involve the closure of 69 Avenue S.E. between Ogden Road and 20 Street S.E. This closure is necessary to allow for the installation of underground utilities and the construction of a new bridge over the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks.
The closure is expected to last for approximately six months, with detours in place to help ease traffic flow in the area. The City has also assured residents that access to local businesses and residences will be maintained throughout the construction period.
While the road closure may cause some inconvenience for residents and commuters, it is a necessary step in the progress of the Green Line project. The City has stated that they are committed to minimizing disruptions and ensuring the safety of all workers and community members during this phase of construction.
The Green Line is expected to bring numerous benefits to the city, including reduced travel times, improved accessibility, and increased economic opportunities. It is also a crucial step in reducing Calgary’s carbon footprint and promoting sustainable transportation options.
The City has also reminded residents to stay informed and plan their routes accordingly during the construction period. Regular updates and information about the project can be found on the City of Calgary’s website.
As the Green Line project continues to move forward, it is important for residents to remain patient and understanding of the necessary road closures and construction activities. The end result will be a more efficient and environmentally-friendly transportation system for all Calgarians to enjoy.
