Road and Facility Closures

As part of the Reimagine 5 Street South project, sewer inspections and survey work is being conducted this week along 5 Street South. Starting tonight, Monday, July 21, to Thursday, July 24, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., full road closures will take place consecutively, at each block along the corridor. The night closures avoid peak traffic times and ensure safety. 

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.

Lethbridge is set to come alive with the sound of revving engines this weekend as beloved Street Wheelers events return. While motorists should be aware of upcoming road closures, there’s plenty to see in this celebration of classic cars and community spirit.  

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.

The annual Pride Parade in downtown Lethbridge is tomorrow, June 28. 

The parade starts at 11 a.m. on Stafford Drive South, next to the Civic Ice Centre, and ends on 5 Street South, on the west side of Galt Gardens. 

We’re only one week away from celebrating Canada’s 158th birthday! The 2025 celebration includes slightly different traffic impacts than previous years.

• 6 Street South between 3 Avenue and 4 Avenue
• 3 Avenue South between 5 Street and 7 Street
