Edmonton Alberta - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ottawa is chipping in money for a new railway crossing project in Edmonton, saying it shows how Canadians can work together to reduce transportation bottlenecks.
 
Speaking at city hall, Trudeau said Ottawa will contribute almost $40 million for the project, which will widen the road and create a railway underpass in the city's east end.
 
The province of Alberta will chip in just over $28 million and the city's portion will be $19.4 million.
 
The project will create two new traffic lanes on 50th Street.
 
There will be a new underpass beneath the existing railway crossing, just north of the Sherwood Park Freeway.
 
New sidewalks and shared-use paths will also be added.
