Highway 43, 43X bypass update

Nov 14, 2017 | 9:18 AM

There will be an eventual interchange built on Highway 43 where the bypass is being constructed.

Ryan Konowalyk, Regional Director for Alberta Transportation Peace Region, says the project is on schedule to open late next fall with a set of lights by Richmond Hill going up first.

“Much like Highway 43 and 2 there used to be an intersection there, then there was a partial interchange to a full interchange, that’s our plan at the new Highway 43, 43X location. We have started work acquiring the land and designing the future interchange already.”

He says work on a round-a-bout on Highway 43X will start in the spring.
