Long-term plans for interchanges on Highway 16

The province’s long-term plan for Highway 16 involves removing all existing accesses between Highway 21 and Range Road 210 and replacing them with interchanges at key locations. The timeline for these changes will be determined by the province as development progresses. 

The tentative locations for future interchanges are Range Road 222, Highway 830, and Range Road 211, but this is subject to change. As part of the Area Concept Plan for Bremner, an additional interchange is expected near Range Road 224 and a partial interchange at Range Road 223. These are yet to be confirmed.
