Current and Future Construction
The remaining 9 km (5.6 mi) leg in the northeast, from Manning Drive to the Yellowhead Highway in east Edmonton, began construction in July 2012, and is targeted for completion in the fall of 2016. This project will also include the reconstruction and upgrading of 18 km (11 mi) of existing highway that was previously repurposed for Anthony Henday Drive between Yellowhead Trail and Whitemud Drive. Portions of Yellowhead Trail and Sherwood Park Freeway will also be enhanced. Overall, the project will include the construction of nine interchanges, two road flyovers, eight rail flyovers and twin bridges over the North Saskatchewan River for a total of 46 bridge structures. As with the southeast and northwest legs, a P3 was selected to build and maintain the northeast portion for 30 years after construction, for a cost of $1.81 billion.

Famous quotes containing the words current, future and/or construction:
“The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one’s contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
