Home The Project The Project consists of the design and construction of a systems interchange at Anthony Henday Drive (AHD) and Stony Plain Road / 100 Avenue in Edmonton, including modifications to AHD between Whitemud Drive and the CNR Edson overpass in west Edmonton. The modifications also include ramp reconfigurations at Whitemud Drive, 87 Avenue and 111 Avenue. The scope of work for the Project includes: A systems interchange with AHD passing over both Stony Plain Road (westbound) and 100 Avenue (eastbound); Loop ramps in the northwest quadrant and the southeast quadrant and elevated directional ramps passing over Stony Plain Road for southbound-eastbound and over 100 Avenue for northbound-westbound movements; Directional ramps in all four (4) quadrants; Reconstruction of AHD mainlines (three (3) lanes each way) from north of 87 Avenue to a point between 111 Avenue and CNR Edson Subdivision to create a median that is 30.6 m wide; Pavement overlay on existing AHD mainline from north of Whitemud Drive to 87 Avenue and widening to provide three (3) lanes each way (with widening to the outside); Reconfiguration of 87 Avenue interchange on the east side of AHD, adding loop on-ramp in the southeast quadrant to replace a directional on-ramp in the northeast quadrant, and adding a northbound exit ramp from north of Whitemud Drive to a new intersection on 87 Avenue (basket-weaved over a relocated northbound entrance ramp from Whitemud Drive); Replacement of the eastbound-southbound ramp at 109 Avenue, the northbound-eastbound ramp at 111 Avenue and removal of the AHD median crossing at 109 Avenue/111 Avenue; Pavement overlay on both Stony Plain Road and 100 Avenue; and Grading for the ultimate stage AHD mainline. The Project includes the following seven (7) bridge structures: Two bridge structures for AHD northbound and southbound lanes over Stony Plain Road; Two bridge structures for AHD northbound and southbound lanes over 100 Avenue; One bridge structure for northbound-westbound directional ramp over 100 Avenue; One bridge structure for southbound-eastbound directional ramp over Stony Plain Road; and One bridge structure for Whitemud Drive northbound on-ramp to AHD over northbound exit ramp from AHD to 87 Avenue. The Project also includes the provision of roadway lighting on all Project roadways, including upgrading of the lighting on AHD. The Project also includes the obligation to fulfill all the requirements to achieve drainage of all roadways; coordination with existing and proposed utilities; traffic accommodation and access management on all roadways during construction; guide signs and guide sign structures for all Project roadways; regulatory and warning signs during construction of the Project; and relocation of traffic signals, signs and the east intersection on 87 Avenue. It also includes all landscaping, fencing, environmental protection and restoration of all roadways removed during the Project. Who was Anthony Henday? Anthony Henday was one of the first Europeans to cross the Canadian Prairies in 1754-55. Working for the Hudson's Bay Company, his expeditions shed light on the First Nations' economy and culture and changed the way that Europeans viewed the west.
