Residents in Sherwood Park, Alberta, will see five bus stops close for six hours this Friday as crews perform construction work to improve transit access. On March 6, 2026, Strathcona County Transit will close stops on Oak Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to install new bus pads.

The closure affects Route 450 and includes stops numbered 6072, 6066, 6060, 6054, and 6048. Riders who normally use these spots should plan to use a temporary stop instead during the six-hour work window.

A temporary bus stop has been placed at the south end of Oak Street on westbound Sherwood Drive to keep service running. This will serve as the main pickup and drop-off point while the regular stops are out of service for the day.

The work is part of a long-term plan that began in June 2023 to make local bus stops safer and more accessible for everyone. The county-wide project to build these concrete pads is expected to continue through the fall of 2026.
