Description
The Highway 1A improvements Project is a long-awaited upgrade to the Highway 1A corridor through Cochrane from east of Centre Avenue to west of Fifth Avenue.
The project includes:
- widening from two lanes to four lanes from east of Centre Avenue to west of Fifth Avenue
- realignment of Fourth Ave to Fifth Ave
- new access, parking and turning lanes for Sixth Ave W businesses
- improved pedestrian network with a new sidewalk and a paved multi-use pathway
Background
Widening highway 1A has long been a priority for both the Province and Town of Cochrane and is an important piece of Cochrane’s Traffic Plan. This project was approved in the fall of 2020, as Council recognized an opportunity to utilize Provincial grant funding to support these roadway improvements.
This project provides a much-needed improvement to the highway corridor that is experiencing heavy congestion for both local and regional users. The project also includes additional pathways and crosswalks, ensuring a safer experience for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
Location
Highway 1A corridor through Cochrane from east of Centre Avenue to west of Fifth Avenue.
Updates
July 2024: We are thrilled to announce that the paving work on Hwy 1A is officially complete!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout this project. Your dedication to traffic accommodations made a significant difference. As always, please stay safe while traveling in the area, and let's continue to support each other. Landscaping and warranty work will continue when weather permits.
How will this project benefit the community?
Traffic on the hill and along Highway 1A continues to challenge our community. This work paves the way for streamlined traffic flow along Highway 1A and through the Highway 1A/22 interchange.
Strategic alignment
This project supports Council's strategic priority of community connectivity, and specifically, advocating for Highway 1A improvements within the Town boundaries, including Centre Avenue and 5th Avenue intersections.

Throughout construction, Cochrane Protective Services are engaged in regular project updates with the contractor and Alberta Transportation to ensure that emergency access is maintained for all communities as public safety is a top priority.
Alberta Transportation updates
June 15, 2026
Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (ATEC) has provided the following update on construction for the Highway 1A / 22 Interchange project.
ATEC has monitored operations of the new traffic signal at Sunset Blvd for a period of time and can confirm that the traffic signal will be modified. The northbound right turn will no longer be controlled through the traffic signal, but instead will have a small corner island and yield sign, similar to other major intersections in Cochrane and the Calgary region. With this change, drivers must yield to opposing traffic from the southbound left turn when present, but can otherwise proceed at all other times.
Construction update:
- Beginning June 15, crews will start work to convert the northbound Highway 22 to Sunset Boulevard right turn from a signal-controlled turn to a yield-controlled turn.
- Remaining line painting throughout the project site is scheduled to resume the week of June 15.
- Line painting will also include a realignment of the westbound lanes on Sunset Boulevard approaching Highway 22. This change will allow both westbound lanes to feed directly into the dual left-turn lanes, reducing the need for drivers to merge into a single lane before the intersection.
- Most remaining construction activities are expected to be completed within the next three weeks, weather permitting.
- Some landscaping work will continue into July as weather conditions allow.
Localized lane closures, speed reductions and construction access activities will continue for several more weeks. Drivers are asked to drive with caution and obey posted signage.
