Starting May 20, the southbound lane on the Albert Street Overpass will be closed for one day to complete emergency work:
- All southbound traffic from HWY 6 will be detoured onto the Ring Road westbound ramp to accommodate this closure.
- Drivers can use the Argyle Street overpass and follow detour signs to access Albert Street.
As of April 10, 2025:
- The northwest loop ramp on the Albert Street Overpass is closed throughout 2025.
- 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 to minimize daytime traffic disruptions.
- Roadway lighting on Ring Road from Argyle Street to Albert Street will be affected throughout the 2025 construction season.
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.
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.
