| COMPLETE | Water Treatment Plant, 141 West Terrace Pt | Work begins in Jan to install air blowers in the existing east low lift pump chamber. This will eliminate the use of mobile air compressors and reduce disturbances.

| Summer 2019 | Horse Creek Road Pedestrian Crossing | The Town and CP are collectively working on the design of this crossing. Additional scope has been added to relocate some siding track that conflicts with the alignment of the crossing location. This conflict has a large impact on the safety of the crossing and CP is currently preparing a work plan to relocate the track. This crossing is a priority and will continue to be advanced in a timely way. Early indication from CP is that the project implementation will now be delayed until the spring of 2019 while design details are finalized. | Roads |

The new bridge and arterial road connections also include on-street bike lanes and a separated, parallel 3-metre wide multi-use pathway that connects with Cochrane’s existing pathway system.
Steel girders begin to arrive Apr 15: watch for oversized loads coming from the south along Hwy 22, then east on Griffin Rd to the construction site. Expect delays; please give trucks room to maneuver and obey flaggers. | More: cochrane.ca/Bridge |

(A more detailed project timeline will be available once the design process is complete.) | |
