Calling all parents who are looking for a safe and cool way to chauffer their kids to their summer adventures! Lethbridge Transit staff will be at the Lethbridge Farmers’ Market this Saturday sharing information and tips for first-time riders, or anyone wanting to learn more about using the public transit system.

Motorists will encounter single-lane closures on University Drive West tomorrow, July 18, 2024, over the pedestrian tunnel adjacent to the Father Leonard Van Tighem School property. Lane closures will apply to northbound and southbound traffic between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm while road patching is completed. Two-way traffic will be maintained with signage and traffic control measures. 

Beginning July 16, 2024, a four-way stop will be used to control traffic at the Stafford Drive North and 5 Avenue North intersection, while intersection improvements are underway. 

Effective immediately and until further notice, a fire ban is in place on all open fires in the Lethbridge’s river valley.

The application deadline is looming for those residents looking for an opportunity to apply to the Community Wellbeing Advisory Board (CWAB).

Bridge maintenance and cleaning on Stafford Drive Bridge will start tomorrow; northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 and the southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Road crews will be onsite from approximately 5 am to 4 pm each day.

City crews are closing the outside, southbound lane along the 900 block of Stafford Drive North starting Sunday, July 7 at 9 a.m.

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.
