Just an FYI

Looks like the 66 St area won't be starting construction until 2026. 2025 is for the design phase it sounds like.

Update: Looks like Yellowhead Trail is now fully open west of the St. Alert Trail interchange. Speed limit is 80 km/hr. I think they still need to install some more overhead signs, especially for the exits to St. Albert Trail, 149 St and 156 St.

Anybody who needs to commute downtown from Spruce Grove or Stony Plain will have a shorter commute.

I drove through there the other day and the difference is huge! Can't wait for the rest of Yellowhead to get finished, 2025 should be pretty big for the 127/107 section

Glad Edmonton taxpayers invested 550mil for our suburbanites that don’t invest their tax dollars here to get quicker access DT

What about people who drive straight through?

Hwy 16 thru Edmonton > Hwy 1 thru Calgary...that is, once the Yellowhead Freeway Conversion project is completed. It will be fantastic for tourism although it should also benefit everyday commuters. Still need to build bypasses for Lloydminster, Edson and Hinton and extend the 4-laning from Hwy 40 to Jasper National Park.

I was through today and loved it. However at least 6 people hate it today. from 170 to 184 6 different vehicles slid into the centre barriers. A bit of a skating rink today.

I wonder if the 66 Street flyover is still going ahead.

Would be a decent way to cut costs on the overall project. Make 66 St a right in right our access only similar to 149 St.

I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got from this: "The majority of the 82 Street to 61 Street project work will focus on the removal of the 66 Street at-grade intersection and include removal of any remaining direct access to Yellowhead Freeway."

Some of these businesses may need to go elsewhere
