Traffic Lights Coming Soon at two Acheson Intersections on Highway 16A

As you travel east and west along Highway 16A in Parkland County, you’ll notice some changes to traffic flow in the Acheson area. Funded through Prairies Economic Development Canada, the County has been working on improvements to the intersections at Spruce Valley Road and at Bevington/ Pinchbeck Road. These intersections, once fully completed, will include traffic lights, streetlights, additional turning lanes, acceleration lanes and deceleration lanes along with new road connections north and south of Highway 16A. The improved intersections will also be coupled with speed limit reductions from 100km/h down to 80 km/h along the surrounding stretches of highway.

The improvements will encourage new investment opportunities by opening access to approximately 2,600 acres of developable land in Acheson. The changes are also in alignment with the transitions being introduced at the easterly edges of Spruce Grove and the westerly edges of the City of Edmonton to provide efficient movements while balancing growth pressures within the region.

Most of the work is expected to be complete with both intersections operating by mid-December. Further details are available online, through YourParkland.ca/Acheson.
