History
Rebuilt2020/21

The Mill Woods Transit Centre is located on Hewes Way and 25 Avenue.

As a part of the Mill Woods Town Centre redevelopment plan, the transit centre was moved from its original location to a new location approximately 100 metres (330 ft) from the new LRT station site.[5] Instead of a concrete island, typical of transit centres in Edmonton, the transit centre was planned to include a promenade with shops next to the bus stops.[6] Construction of the new transit centre began in fall 2019, and it opened April 15, 2021.[7][8]
