Construction update
Closure of 36 Street N.E. near the Airport
36 Street N.E. will be closed between 80 Avenue and Country Hills Boulevard beginning April 8, 2013, so that the roadway between Airport Trail and Country Hills Boulevard can be reconstructed and expanded from two to four lanes.
The closure will also allow the Airport Trail connections to be made onto 36 Street going east out of the Airport Trail tunnel. During the closure, motorists are encouraged to use Métis Trail as the main alternative.
Even though the tunnel structure has been poured, work continues on many fronts. Backfilling the storm tank and portal walls continues along with work inside the tunnel, such as fireproofing the walls and roof, electrical and mechanical work, and installing lighting and fans.

This closure will last until August. Also, the intersection of Barlow/Airport trail will have some lane closures during the summer as well so that the same connection can be completed on the other side of the tunnel.
