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 will be replaced 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.

Starting on Friday, April 3 at 7 p.m. until Monday, April 6 at 6 a.m., the following will be in place:
