Biography - Luke Ouellette, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation

Celebrate the Opening of Anthony Henday Drive Southeast 2007 October 22

Minister Ouellette, Mayor Stephen Mandel, Premier Ed Stelmach, and Alina Osorio, CEO of Macquarie Essential Assets Partnership officially opened Anthony Henday Drive Southeast, Alberta's first completed P3 highway.  The speakers were joined by local Edmonton MLAs (left to right) Raymond Prins, George Rogers, Minister Dave Hancock, and Associate Minister Gene Zwozdesky. The new 11-kilometre freeway option will reduce congestion and provide a vital transportation link for the Edmonton region. Anthony Henday Drive Southeast was built on-buget and on-schedule.

   
Celebrate the Grande Prairie BypassMinister Ouellette, local MLAs and municipal officials dug-in on Aug. 29 to celebrate the start of construction of the long-awaited new Grande Prairie bypass. The first phase of the project will include a new overpass at a cost of $5.2 million, the first three kilometres of the twinned bypass, and a CN-Rail overpass that could be opened as early as next fall and will immediately reduce the amount of industrial traffic heading through the heart of Grande Prairie.
