Calgarys Mission Bridge set to close for 6 months [Video]

Calgary’s Mission Bridge will be closed to motorists for several months as city crews complete rehabilitation work.

After evening peak traffic hours on Friday, Nov. 1, the bridge, located on Fourth Street S.W., will be closed to allow crews to begin work on the vehicle traffic lanes. The closure is expected to last about six months.

Northbound and southbound detours will be available for drivers.

Alongside the “critical repair work,” city crews are also working to add multi-use pathways on each side of the bridge and upgrade lighting.

Some sidewalks on the bridge will have reduced width but will remain open to pedestrians, wheelers and cyclists.

The bridge is expected to reopen to two-way vehicle traffic in the spring, with the project finished up in late 2025.

The city is reminding commuters to allow extra time and use alternate routes or modes of transportation when possible.
