Road and Facility Closures

To accommodate the second annual Lethbridge Block Party on Saturday, June 15, the following road closures will be in effect starting at 7 a.m. that day: 6 Street South between 3 Avenue and 4 Avenue; 3 Avenue South between 5 Street and 7 Street; and 4 Avenue South between 6 Street and 7 Street.

Scheduled patching work will impact westbound traffic on Whoop Up Drive. The work begins Friday, June 14 at 9 a.m. and is expected to be completed by 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 15.

Traffic will be impacted as crews complete patching work along a small stretch of 6 Avenue South.

The project begins Thursday, June 13 at 9 a.m. Single-lane closures will be in effect in both directions between 10 Street and 11 Street South.

Construction is about to wrap up on 7 Street South from 4 Avenue to 7 Avenue, thus fully connecting the bike lanes in Downtown Lethbridge to the 7 Avenue bike boulevard and the city-wide cycling network. The work, all weather dependent, will take place from June 10-14. Full road closures are not anticipated, however, there will be lane reductions, short duration turning bay closures and a temporary loss of parking in some areas.

Crews were busy this week with pothole patching on Whoop-Up Drive. Next week, our ongoing Transportation Operations’ work will involve bridge maintenance. From June 10-12 (4 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day), bridge maintenance work will impact westbound lanes on Whoop-Up Drive. On June 13 and 14 (4 a.m. to 7 a.m. each day), work will shift to eastbound lanes.

As City crews and contractors are working on the annual road and infrastructure maintenance around Lethbridge, the City is encouraging residents to stay up-to-date with summer construction in just one click.

Speeds will be lowered on Whoop Up Drive, as crews perform early-morning pothole repairs.

Eastbound potholes will be patched on Tuesday, June 4. The work moves to the westbound lanes on Wednesday, June 5. Both days will see crews on-site from 4 a.m. – 7 a.m.

Bridge maintenance will impact traffic on the University Drive West bridge, crossing over Whoop Up Drive West.

Construction season is about to kick into high gear as the City’s Transportation Operations department starts on the annual road maintenance work on Monday, June 3. 

Road maintenance will impact traffic on the Scenic Drive North overpass, crossing over 5 Avenue North.
