The Government of Alberta has introduced that work to widen the southwest leg of the Anthony Henday in Edmonton is now full.
Around 80,000 autos journey on that leg each day, with the 18 kilometre stretch now expanded to a few lanes, each eastbound and westbound.
“Southwest Henday has long been a source of frustration for drivers,” says Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors. “The addition of a new lane in each direction means Edmonton families will spend less time stuck in traffic, and more time at home doing the things they love. The new six-lane section will also reduce travel times between the region’s major economic corridors, the QEII and Yellowhead Highway.”
The new lanes alongside Anthony Henday Drive run between Calgary Trail and Whitemud Drive.
