The Capital Projects office oversees the planning, budgeting and delivery of major infrastructure investments in Airdrie. This includes roads, underground services, like utilities, parks, new buildings and major facility upgrades.
Construction underway. Expected completion: March 31, 2025.
Currently in design development. Detailed design to be completed by June 2025. Construction begins July 2025, with early site work starting in May.
Yankee Valley Boulevard widening
8th Street to QEII – design phase
This project will expand the existing four-lane divided roadway to six lanes and update the CPKC underpass to meet current standards. Design will be complete in 2026.
The City acquired 186 acres in 2021 for a regional park. A Master Site Plan—based on City reports, community needs and site characteristics—was developed and will guide phased construction.
Asphalt pathways in poor condition will be replaced across Airdrie starting June 2025. Map coming soon.
Two pedestrian bridges will be replaced in 2025 following annual safety assessments. See MAP for exact locations.
A full bridge assessment is planned for 2025 to determine if repair or replacement is needed. Design and construction planning will follow. Completion is scheduled for 2026.
Includes snow storage cells and cold storage. A new evaporation pond is planned for the next phase. The site will support daily Public Works operations on 8 acres of developable land.
Annual road upgrades based on pavement condition and growth.
The 2025 Road Rehabilitation maps outline the City's major rehabilitation projects for the year:
Design begins in 2025 to support sanitary pumping capacity for growing southeast communities.
Design continues in 2025. This includes interconnecting Main and Sierra Springs Lift Stations to Lift Station 8. Initial pumping capacity: 1,500 L/sec.
Targeted repairs in high-priority areas where existing sanitary infrastructure has either failed or is likely to fail in the near future, or pipes that are at or near capacity for flow. In 2025, work includes Summerfield Close and Jensen Crescent.
Design work for a new discharge pipeline tied to the South Regional Lift Station is underway, including surveys and environmental approvals.
A 5-year program to improve stormwater quality at outfall locations (drainage facilities that convey partially treated stormwater into Nose Creek), using OGS units to remove contaminants before discharge into Nose Creek.
Treatment will be provided by installing OIL/GRIT SEPARATORS, which provide stormwater quality improvements.
A design consultant will be hired in 2025 to improve stormwater management in the area.
This project supports water delivery in East Points CASP as identified in past servicing studies. Design phase underway.
Design only in 2025. Construction expected closer to 2029, depending on west Airdrie’s growth.
The City’s 2016 Utility Master Plan (UMP) identified the need to establish additional water servicing zones, commonly referred to as Pressure Zones (PZ). On the west side of the City, a West and High West PZ must be created. The two PZs will require the construction of associated potable water pump stations and reservoirs.
Targeted replacements of aging or at-capacity water pipes. Work in 2025 includes Jensen Crescent.
