The sound of drills, semi-trucks coming in and out, and workers directing traffic, all have become the new normal for Edmontonians getting to and from the west end.

“What we were going to have if we didn’t take a different action is that every one of those intersections in the west end was going to be closed or partially opened for two years, at the same time we closed the Wellington Bridge. Of the eight intersections, six are now complete before the Wellington Bridge closed,” Knack said.

The bridge on 102 Avenue is the latest roadblock for drivers to get around.
