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 was replaced in 2025. The northbound overpass is being replaced in 2026.
The new structures have been raised to reduce potential damage from over-height vehicles and 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.
Current Restrictions:
- Albert Street overpass traffic has now opened with the northbound traffic limited to one lane.
- The northeast ramp from Albert Street (northbound) to Ring Road (westbound) remains closed to traffic. All the other ramps are currently open.
All traffic restrictions should be fully removed by October 16, 2026, barring unforeseen circumstances.
