The Terwillegar Drive expansion project in Edmonton has entered Stage 3 of construction, which will enhance the interchange over Anthony Henday Drive. This phase, set to last two years, involves building a new northbound bridge and repurposing the existing bridge for southbound traffic. Additionally, the interchange will be converted into a partial cloverleaf design, featuring two new loop ramps for improved traffic flow. The upgrades will also widen Terwillegar Drive to three lanes in each direction and introduce a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge connecting the Windermere and Haddow neighborhoods. While two lanes of traffic will be maintained during construction, short-term lane closures may occur, impacting both Terwillegar Drive and Henday Drive. The overall six-kilometre expressway project, which began in 2021, is expected to be completed by 2028, following a scaled-back plan from an initial $1 billion freeway proposal in 2017.
