Those at the information sessions will be able to see the preliminary design of the highway twinning.

The sessions in spring 2025 will include a detailed design.

The start of construction does not yet have a date.

Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors confirmed AECOM and ISL Engineering as consulting team partners to complete the design and construction administration.

The project will consider input from adjacent landowners and businesses, stakeholders including community groups, the City of Medicine Hat, County of Forty Mile, and Cypress County.

First Nations consultation is ongoing, according to project display boards.
