Alberta Transportation, Mountain View Partners, and KGL Constructors will be hosting public information sessions on February 26 and 27 to provide an update on the 2018 construction season for the Southwest Calgary Ring Road (SWCRR). Display materials will feature information on the road alignment, highlight key construction activities, outline areas that may qualify for noise mitigation, and identify upcoming traffic impacts.

The City of Calgary will also be in attendance to provide details on its projects connecting to the SWCRR. This includes:

• Widening of Glenmore Trail, including improvements at Crowchild Trail and the 54 Avenue pedestrian bridge
• Extension of 90 Avenue
• Extension of Southland Drive

The sessions are drop-in events on February 26th and 27th, between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
