Airport Trail and 96 Avenue NE is an arterial road and developing expressway in the northeast quadrant of Calgary, Alberta.
It continues east along the northern edge of the Calgary International Airport, which includes two accesses to the main terminal at 19 Street NE and Barlow Trail.
On April 3, 2011, the Calgary Airport Authority permanently closed Barlow Trail as part of the planned expansion and new runway construction.
Construction began in 2011,[5] but was halted in 2012 when inspectors found deficiencies in the bridge decks and missed the original targeted opening of September 2012.
[10] As part of the project, the City of Calgary mandated 1% of the total cost of the capital project be put towards public art,[11] resulting in the installation Travelling Light, a 17-metre (55 ft) tall blue sculptural ring integrated into the row of street lamps.
This interchange will be large and freeflowing with multiple sets of flyovers that are planned to provide access to a short elevated freeway connecting to both the airport terminal, a service road and the parkades.
