Anthony Henday Drive (AHD) in the City of Edmonton is an outer ring road currently under construction around the City's southern limits. Upon completion, it will have far reaching benefits to Edmonton residents and thousands of travelers who will use this route for leisure, business and goods movement. A design-build-finance-operate (DBFO) team, Access Roads Edmonton Ltd. (AREL), headed by ABN-AMRO Bank, PCL Construction Management Inc. and TSMI, was awarded the $493 million DBFO Contract for the southeast portion of Edmonton's Anthony Henday Ring Road in 2005. Marshall Macklin Monaghan (MMM) leads a design team for the assignment that includes MMM Alberta subsidiary Bel-MK Engineering Ltd., Stantec Consulting Ltd., Golder Associates Ltd. and Applied Research Associates. This paper will discuss the challenges associated with the construction of this major new transportation corridor within a compressed design and construction schedule, and the successes associated with the first highway Public-Private Partnership in the Province of Alberta. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
