Road and Facility Closures

Bridge rehabilitation work on Whoop-Up Drive will begin next week and construction will continue until the end of September, weather permitting. Lane closures and detours will create traffic delays on Whoop-Up Drive and adjoining commuter routes. 

Beginning July 14, the south end of Exhibition Way South will see a transformation that includes removing the aging timber retaining wall and upgrading the pathway.

Maintenance work is set to take place this week on the Scenic Drive bridge over Whoop-Up Drive. 

On July 9 and 10, single-lane closures on Scenic Drive will be in effect and two-way traffic will be maintained. 

Starting Monday, July 7, maintenance work will begin on the University Drive West bridge over Whoop-Up Drive, which will see single-lane closures. 

Pedestrian tunnel maintenance is resulting in single lane closures along a small portion of University Drive West.

To accommodate the annual Lethbridge Block Party on Saturday, June 14, 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
• 4 Avenue South between 6 Street and 7 Street

A sewer service repair is impacting a small stretch of 13 Street North.

Starting today, two consecutive projects on Whoop-Up Drive will affect eastbound and westbound commuters. 

The outer eastbound lane of the Whoop-Up Drive bridge will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, June 4. 

Commuters in Lethbridge will notice some new traffic calming features this spring. Traffic calming curbs and digital speed feedback signs have been installed on selected roadways throughout the city to help reduce driving speeds.

Two speed feedback signs will be installed on Whoop-Up Drive on Friday, May 23, 2025. Commuters can expect partial lane closures.
