Stantec, along with construction partner Aecon, the Alberta Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors, and other partners, is marking the opening of the Horseshoe Bridge in Calgary. This is one of seven new bridges and a key part of the Deerfoot Trail Improvements project, which will address rising traffic volumes and improve travel efficiency along one of the city's most important corridors. Stantec is the lead designer for the project under a design-build contract led by Aecon.
The project encompasses 10 kilometres (6 miles) of urban freeway and includes major interchange upgrades, expanded vehicle capacity, improved entrances and exits, and modernized infrastructure. Construction has been carefully staged to maintain traffic flow and minimize disruption to travelers.
“Deerfoot Trail is a key artery through the heart of Alberta’s economic corridor, so keeping people moving during construction has been critical,” said David Thatcher, vice president of transportation at Stantec. “As one of the province’s most significant infrastructure projects, these improvements will reduce commute times and enhance quality of life for Albertans.”
