Some traffic progress has been made along the Valley Line West, as part of 104 Avenue has reopened to two lanes in each direction.

The City announced the traffic change on Tuesday, which should provide some relief for drivers.

Work to reopen 104 Avenue between 105 Street and 121 Street began Monday, completing the third stage of the Valley Line West project.

The City also notes that all six intersections were opened either on or ahead of schedule.

Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) and the City add that many roads are not in their final permanent traffic configuration along the Valley Line West, which is expected to fully finish construction in 2028.
