Description

The Glenpatrick Drive infrastructure replacement project involves the full replacement and improvement of water, sanitary, storm and roadway infrastructure from 5 Avenue to 3-way intersection near Glenbow Elementary School. 

The road has been widened to improve traffic flow and safety, with the road structure upgraded based on the pavement design and traffic impact assessment. New sidewalks and pathways support active transportation and improve pedestrian connectivity to the school and nearby commercial areas.  

A key upgrade was transforming the previous three-way intersection near Glenbow Elementary School into a traffic circle, improving the functionality and public safety.

 

Project update - September 25, 2026

Now

  • Landscape work, sod placement and paving is currently underway. 

Upcoming work

  • Clean up and repairs will be ongoing until the project wraps up. 

Road closures

Please note that there will be localized short duration lane and sidewalk closures until the project is complete to allow for crews to safely perform landscaping and repair work.    

Looking ahead

Asphalt will be placed in the 2027 and 2028 construction seasons. This is a standard construction process to allow for weak spots, settlement, and warranty repairs to take place, if required. After that potential work is completed, the entire road will get a top lift to have a clean and smooth asphalt surface.  

Additional work in Glenbow

The Town has begun sanitary infrastructure work in the back alley between Glenpatrick Drive and Castle Place North. This work is anticipated to be completed in late October. Please note that this work is independent from the Glenpatrick Drive project. Question should be directed to Operations at 403-851-2590 or operations@cochrane.ca.
