This two-year project will support a vital commuter and trucking route by replacing and upgrading the Albert Street North overpasses while reusing much of their existing foundations. The southbound overpass will be replaced in 2025 and the northbound overpass in 2026. The new structures will be raised to reduce potential damage from over-height vehicles and will include upgraded barriers and guardrails that meet modern safety standards. When completed in October 2026, this project will deliver two fully refurbished overpasses that will safely support Regina's transportation network for decades to come.
The following restrictions on Ring Road under the Albert Street North Overpass will take effect to support the construction of the new overpass:
- On July 22, the eastbound lanes will be closed at 7 p.m. Two-way traffic will remain open on the westbound lanes. The eastbound lanes will reopen at 6 a.m. on July 23.
- On July 23, the westbound lanes will be closed at 7 p.m. Two-way traffic will remain open on the eastbound lanes. The westbound lanes will reopen at 6 a.m. on July 24.
Ongoing Restrictions:
- The northwest loop ramp on the Albert Street Overpass is closed throughout the 2025 construction season.
- Lane closures on Ring Road will occur intermittently during the project. The City will be utilizing night and weekend work for full Ring Road closures under the Albert Street North overpass to minimize daytime traffic disruptions.
- Roadway lighting on Ring Road from Argyle Street to Albert Street will be affected throughout the 2025 construction season.
Project Outcomes
- Rebuild two overpasses to support Regina’s transportation network and economy for decades to come.
- Raise both overpasses to reduce potential damage from over-height hits.
- Upgrade barriers and guardrails to meet modern safety standards.
Construction Timeline
This is a two-year construction project that began in March 2025.
Investment
Total estimated project cost is $17.6 Million (including engineering, construction, applicable taxes).
Traffic Restrictions
- Beginning on March 24, Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction across the northbound lanes of the overpass for the duration of the 2025 construction season.
- The northwest loop ramp to Albert Street south will also be closed throughout 2025 with traffic detours with signage in place.
