New traffic signals at Towerlane Drive and Elk Hill are expected to be operational today, part of a wider slate of summer roadwork that includes lane closures, pathway detours and full road reconstruction across Airdrie.
The city says the Towerlane signal will replace the mid-block pedestrian crossing near ATB, with landscaping and curb repairs to follow. The signal upgrade comes ahead of a major rebuild of Main Street between Elk Hill and Erin Drive, set to begin in early July.
“This project is necessary to ensure the long-term safety and reliability of one of our city’s arterial roadways,” said Mayor Peter Brown.
Crews will remove and rebuild the asphalt, upgrade intersections and install improved wheelchair-friendly pedestrian access. One lane in each direction will remain open throughout.
Airdrie’s engineering and capital projects teams have flagged more than a dozen other active or upcoming closures as of June 25:
