Glenmore Trail / 68 Street S.E. intersection improvements

Project update – April 2024

Construction of the four-lane roadway on 68 Street S.E. between 76 Avenue and 86 Avenue S.E., including at the intersection of Glenmore Trail S.E., was completed in January 2022.

This work also included installation of streetlights and construction of an underground stormwater drainage system along 68 Street S.E.

Construction on the remaining section of 68 Street S.E. between 86 Avenue and 90 Avenue S.E. is currently paused. Please visit this project page regularly for updates.

We thank you for your patience throughout construction.

About the project

Currently, Glenmore Trail and 68 Street S.E. is a signalized 'T' intersection. The proposed intersection improvements will see the full development of the north leg of the intersection and improve 68 Street to/from the south. The reconstruction of this intersection will improve access for existing nearby industrial development, and open up new industrial development opportunities on private and municipally-owned lands within the Southeast 68 Street Industrial Area Structure Plan.

The project includes:

  • Widening and reconstruction of 68 Street S.E. from two lanes to four lanes from Glenmore Trail south to the Western Headworks Canal
  • Build a new four-lane roadway for 68 Street north from Glenmore Trail to 74 Avenue S.E.
  • Construct a new at-grade traffic loop in the NW quadrant of the intersection, allowing motorists from southbound Stoney Trail to access 68 Street southbound without having to weave through westbound Glenmore Trail traffic
  • Construction of multi-use pathways along 68 Street
  • Relocation of utilities, construction of the stormwater drainage system along 68 Street, and enhanced streetlighting.
