This project will be completed in 3 stages; work is anticipated to being in January 2023 on Stage 1 and we estimate the entire project will be finished by Spring 2026.
Mid-March 2023 to summer 2025
New tunnel construction along 97 Street and connection to the existing upstream combined trunk at 80 Avenue and downstream trunk at 88 Avenue.
Stage one
Spring 2025 to fall 2025
Redirecting the existing sewer flows on 80 Avenue between 96 Street to 97 Street toward the new tunnel.
Stage two
Summer 2025 to spring 2026
Abandonment of the existing combined trunk from 97 Street to the Mill Creek Ravine.
Stage three
Geotechnical investigations have been completed along the alignment and we anticipate that the ground conditions are favourable for tunneling. However, there is a risk the TBM could encounter harder soil or boulders, which could slow down progress.
Extreme weather including severe cold, heavy rains, high winds and lighting make working unsafe. During these conditions, the site will be shut down.

The start date of the project is dependent on relocation of the utilities, including a water main at Tubby Bateman Park, as well electricity and telecommunication lines at Ritchie School. Electricity and telecommunication line relocations are anticipated to take place in Q1 of 2023. The watermain relocation is anticipated to take place in Spring 2023. There may be some disruption to local services, however more information will be provided at the time of construction.
The TBM will be delivered from overseas, either from the manufacturer or from another project site. If there are delays with shipping, the tunneling portion of the project may be delayed.
