Stoney Trail Over The Bow River
A City of Calgary approved Government of Alberta capital project to improve the Ring Road infrastructure for
highway commuters, travelers, and supply chain traffic. This major project will replace the eastbound bridge,
widen the westbound bridge, and build a new pedestrian bridge over the Bow River in southeast Calgary. Upon
completion, there will be four lanes in each direction to handle the growth of the city and welcome its visitors.
Bow Mark undertook work on this active highway corridor to make these improvements to the flow of traffic
over the Bow River and was successful in various aspects of the project such as the redirection of traffic flow,
grading, adding the granular base course, continuous pour medians,and non-stop Echelon Paving with no cold
seams where two pavers layasphalt adjacent to each other, to remove any longitudinal joints, as well as other
infrastructure work within the 5km construction zone.
