In Edmonton, a city of 800,000 inhabitants in western Canada, transportation is key to economic development. To establish the city and its region in the twenty-first century, the municipal authorities have launched a comprehensive plan for transport development. The objective is to improve traffic flow for all road users. A major infrastructure covered by this plan is the outer ring road of the city, with over 88,000 vehicles driving every day for the busiest sections during rush hour. The last stretch of the ring road -the construction of which started in 2012- will be completed in 2016.

The circle has been closed, as they say!
