ISL was engaged by The City of Calgary to plan, design and supervise the construction of Glenmore Causeway Upgrades between Crowchild Trail and 14 Street SW. Glenmore Trail is the most important east-west expressway through Calgary, and the segment across the Glenmore Causeway is also part of the north-south Crowchild / 14 Street expressway route, designed ultimately to carry more than 190,000 vehicles per day. The roadway is the busiest roadway operated by The City, and the segment of Glenmore Trail crossing Glenmore Reservoir is arguably the most environmentally sensitive area within Calgary. The project includes the removal and reconstruction of the existing Causeway Bridge to achieve the joint objectives of accommodating medium-term traffic growth, and satisfying current flood control guidelines through the causeway waterway for the Glenmore Dam. In addition to traffic management, removal and reconstruction of the existing causeway bridge, and construction of a new bridge for the NB-WB Ramp at 14 Street SW, the project included both stormwater management and noise attenuation.
