Temporary traffic delays are expected tomorrow, Wednesday, September 4, on the southbound lanes of Scenic Drive South. The section of roadway between 2 Avenue South to the westbound Whoop-Up Drive exit will be affected by moving, single-lane closures from 9 am – 2 pm. 

It’s a bad news/good news situation.

The bad news? It’s the final long weekend of summer 2024. And that means outdoor pools and spray parks are set to close for the season.

The good news? Mother Nature is giving us great conditions to enjoy the sendoff! Forecast highs are into the high 20s and low 30s for the entire long weekend.

Monday, September 2 is Labour Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.
