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:
“I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
“complaint of present days
Is not the certain path to future praise.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
