Overview
The interchange is a regionally significant piece of transportation infrastructure for The County’s west side. In addition to residential users, the interchange is also extensively utilized to access services on both the north and south sides of Highway 1 which include, but are not limited to, Springbank’s schools, Edge School and Parks for All Seasons; Springbank Airport; Mickelson National Golf Club, Calaway Park, Commercial Court and Emergency Medical Services deployed from Springbank Airport.
In March 2009, Alberta Transportation initiated a Functional Planning Study for this Interchange. Since 2009, the County has seen the completion of Edge School, further expansion at Springbank Airport, the launch of the Harmony subdivision and the approval of Bingham Crossing. In addition to these approved projects adding volume to regional transportation infrastructure, Administration is also aware of several other pending and potential new developments in the area.

Stage 2 Improvements
In August 2023, the County received a grant from Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (ATEC) to design Stage II of the interchange located at Highway I and Range Road 33. The design is based on a 2024 horizon and consists mainly of a new four-lane bridge, adding a lane to the roundabouts that Stage I is currently constructing, and road widening at various locations within the construction limits. The Stage II Improvements Plan shows the interchange with the integration of Stage I, Stage II, and at ultimate buildout Stage III.
