Road, Highway & Bridge Construction
Communications and engagement for road, highway and bridge projects in Alberta, from early planning through construction and opening.
Communications for road and bridge projects
A road or bridge project affects drivers, transit riders, residents, businesses and emergency services, sometimes across several construction seasons. reVerb plans communications around each of those groups and the stage of the project where each one is affected.
reVerb provides strategic communications for road, highway and bridge construction in Alberta. We work with project owners, engineering firms and contractors on public notification, stakeholder engagement and issues management from planning through to opening day.
Transportation work in Edmonton
Feedback gathered alongside more than 100 construction inquiries and 42 business sessions for the Accelerated Roadwork Program on Valley Line West.
Communications on Valley Line Southeast LRT, including the river crossing, as part of the Owner's Engineer team for the City of Edmonton.
For Transportation Infrastructure, shared with the Valley Line Southeast project team in 2025.
Key areas of support
Construction & Traffic Communications
Lane closures, detours and night work reach people well outside the project team. We plan notification for residents, commuters, businesses and emergency services, and keep the information consistent across signage, the web, social media and direct mail.
On Valley Line Southeast LRT, which includes the Tawatinâ Bridge over the North Saskatchewan River, reVerb worked as part of the Owner's Engineer team for the City of Edmonton.
Explore →Public Engagement & Consultation
Corridor studies, interchange designs and bridge replacements can call for public input before a design is final. We design and facilitate engagement that gives people accurate information, then report what we heard back to the project team.
Explore →Business & Community Liaison
Businesses along a construction corridor need to know how customers and deliveries will reach them. reVerb provides liaison and inquiry management, with every question logged, answered and tracked to resolution.
Explore →Crisis & Issues Management
A work zone collision, a utility strike or a schedule change can draw public attention within hours. reVerb prepares response plans before construction starts and supports the owner and contractor when an issue breaks.

reVerb has worked on major Alberta transportation projects and tailors each strategy to the corridor and the people who use it.

We run the engagement we design
Planning, facilitation, documentation and reporting handled by one team, from the first public session to the what-we-heard report.
Multi-stakeholder coordination
Engagement across residents, businesses, transit riders, emergency services, utilities and contractors, each with their own interests.

How does reVerb handle traffic and detour notification?
We plan notification for residents, commuters, businesses and emergency services, and keep the information consistent across signage, the project website, social media and direct mail, so each closure or detour reaches the people it affects.
Can reVerb support businesses along a construction corridor?
Yes. We run business sessions, provide a liaison and manage inquiries so owners know how customers and deliveries will reach them, with every question logged, answered and tracked to resolution. See our inquiry management case study.
Does reVerb work for project owners or contractors?
Both. We work with project owners, engineering firms and contractors. On Valley Line Southeast LRT, which includes the Tawatinâ Bridge, reVerb worked as part of the Owner's Engineer team for the City of Edmonton.
What is a what-we-heard report?
A report that summarizes who took part, what people said and how the project responded. On the Accelerated Roadwork Program for Valley Line West, reVerb built one from more than 100 construction inquiries, 42 business sessions and feedback from 3,481 Edmontonians. Read the case study.
Can reVerb help when an incident happens in a work zone?
