With the continuation of the Whoop-Up Drive bridge rehabilitation project, work will be moving from the inside lane to the centre lane of Whoop Up Drive westbound beginning July 8, 2024. Traffic will be directed to merge around the lane closures. The work on westbound lanes is expected to be complete by approximately Labour Day weekend in September.
Lethbridge motorists looking to access more live-time information on the city’s busiest roadway have a new tool to plan or adjust their route. Four new traffic monitoring cameras have recently been installed to look at Whoop-Up Drive, both westbound and eastbound, as well as at Whoop-Up Drive exit ramps at University Drive and Scenic Drive. The 24/7 cameras, which can be viewed here, take still images in two-minute increments with each photo stored for 20 minutes.

For Dorothy Graham, a recent recruit at Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services (LFES), firefighting runs in the blood. Her great-great-grandfather was the Lethbridge Fire Chief from 1911 to 1935 and left a legacy that continues to inspire her.
Effectively immediately, the River Valley Fire Ban in Lethbridge has been lifted. Recent changes in weather conditions, including rainfall and higher humidity levels, have reduced the fire risk in this area.
Starting Tuesday, July 2, and estimated to last until Labour Day weekend in September, weather permitting, bridge rehabilitation work will take place on the westbound portion of the Whoop-Up Drive bridge.

During this project
Two lanes will remain open for westbound traffic. Signage and controls will be in place to direct traffic around the single lane closures.
Speeds will be lowered to 60 km/h in each work area.
The aim is to complete the necessary work while traffic volumes are lower in July and August, weather permitting.
The project is available on the City’s WebMap for further information and updates.
Digital signage on Whoop-Up Drive will be in place to alert commuters to the project start date and other traffic control changes over the summer.
