Highway 40X open house being held Friday

Dec 5, 2025 | 6:00 AM

An open house to talk about plans for the proposed Highway 40X will be held today (Friday, December 5).

It will go from 4-7 p.m. at the Design Works Centre in the KMSC Law room.

The road would connect Highway 43 to Highway 40. It would go south and east from where Highways 43 and 43X meet and link with Highway 40 just north of the Wapiti Nordic Ski Club

The province says on its website that the public is being asked to provide feedback on the detailed design.

The government also says the road would improve safety and reduce the volume of heavy truck traffic.

The final design is expected to be finished this year, with construction set to start in 2026.
