A Message from the City of Calgary
There will be some road closures related to the Upper Plateau Separation Project in Hillhurst Sunnyside. This project work is part of the ongoing stormwater upgrades happening in the northwest inner-city area and involves the installation of a larger, dedicated pipe that will collect and move stormwater from the communities on top of the hill directly to the Bow River, bypassing Sunnyside, to help prevent flooding in the community.
For this final phase of work, The City needs to install two new storm pipes across 10 Street NW and make modifications to existing infrastructure on 10 St NW.
This construction will require closing 10 Street traffic between Sait Way NW and just north of 5 Av NW, adjacent to Riley Park.
10 St. NW will remain open between 16 Avenue NW and Sait Way NW, allowing for access in and out of SAIT.
To complete the work as quickly as possible, and minimize disruption to residents and commuters, crews will be working during the day and at night between March 2 and April 8, 2024.
Construction Impacts
March 2 – 8: Within the construction area, two northbound lanes on 10 St NW will be closed, with southbound lane and pedestrian sidewalk open for vehicles traveling southbound and pedestrians only. Cyclist detour will be in place.
March 9 – April 8: Full road closure of 10 St NW within the work area, between Sait Way NW and adjacent to Riley Park, north of 5 Av NW.
April 9: 10 Street re-opens.
The City takes all efforts to limit work to daytime hours, but for this project it is necessary to work at night to complete the work safely, efficiently, and minimize the disruption to residents and commuters in the area. This approach will lead to construction noise at night.
Transit Impacts
Bus Routes 4 and 5 will be detoured. Route 4 stops 8046, 7672, and 8968, as well as Route 5 stops 5244, 8962, and 5245 will be temporarily closed. Full transit detour information, and temporary stop locations will be posted to calgarytransit.com/serviceupdates and on the mobile Transit app.
