It is low hanging fruit. No new structures. Close two intersections. Build two lanes in each direction.

I wished they would have done a fly over on 149th. that is going to add a ton of traffic on 156st.

The 149 St flyover could be done sometime within 10 - 20 years.
But please don't quote me on that.

Breaking ground on Highway 19 west twinning

March 29, 2021 Media inquiries
Twinning will reduce the chances of a head-on collision for the nearly 10,000 commuter and commercial vehicles that travel Highway 19 each day.

The 3.5-kilometre twinning project will improve the movement of goods to major highways, rail services and the Edmonton International Airport while creating approximately 400 jobs when they’re needed most.

The federal government is providing $27.7 million to Phase 2 of the Highway 19 twinning project.

Tree clearing has started along the Yellowhead at St Albert Trail. There is fencing up in the Parking lot of the Casino and Drainage equipment at 144st.

And So it begins.

3 years of construction - it better be worth it!

Those ubiquitous orange construction barriers are upcoming at Yellowhead WB and 149 St

Is this also the second ring road route? Devon to Beaumont. Then onward to highway 21 in the future.

I didn't realize they were an issue.

A paving project is BADLY needed for that stretch.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**797** Posted **May 17, 2021, 1:20 PM**

The QE2 south of 41 Ave is the province's responsibility, yes?

Airboy · #**798** Posted **May 17, 2021, 2:49 PM**

I believe so...

Yes, province's responsibility.

They repaved the southbound stretch in 2008, and again it got some attention when they added the 4th lane a few years ago.

But I really do not recall the last time the northbound stretch was repaved. It is crumbling bad.
