Capital Plan
The incredible growth in Alberta’s economy and population has created a need for more and better roads, schools and hospitals. In response to this growth, Treasury Board will be developing a long-term Capital Plan that takes into account all infrastructure needs for the province. This plan will address needs related to growth; ensure existing infrastructure is maintained; explore options to fund capital projects; and manage escalating infrastructure costs.

The attached tentative three-year construction and rehabilitation program lists the major projects where substantive work is anticipated to be complete or undertaken between 2010-11 and 2012-13 for all provincial highways (includes North-South Trade Corridor and the Edmonton and Calgary Ring Roads) and water management projects.
Not identified in the program are some of the bridge rehabilitation projects and localized improvements such as minor slide repairs and intersection upgrades; small carry-over projects from 2009-10; and general expenditures such as chip seal coats, lighting, preliminary (consultant) engineering and future right-of-way. Additionally, minor safety-related improvements might be added as identified, generally in conjunction with larger projects.
Modifications to the program may be required as more current information becomes available. In particular, final paving, pavement overlays and bridge rehabilitation may be added and/or deleted from the program depending on how the condition of the highways (and bridges) change throughout the year.
