Strathcona County Transit closed five bus stops along Oak Street in Sherwood Park, Alberta, on Monday, March 9, 2026. The closures were in place for six hours, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., while crews performed construction work in the area.
The affected locations included bus stops 6072, 6066, 6060, 6054, and 6048. To keep service running for local riders, a temporary bus stop was set up at the south end of Oak Street on westbound Sherwood Drive.
According to the Strathcona County Transportation and Roads Department, the work is part of a larger plan to install concrete bus pads throughout the community. These new pads are designed to make it safer and more accessible for residents to get on and off the bus.
The overall improvement project began in June 2023 and is expected to finish by the fall of 2026. While the work on Oak Street was finished within the day, the county is continuing to upgrade stops across the region over the coming months.
