Road and Facility Closures

Starting today, August 5, there will be a series of partial road closures on 7 Street South, between 3 Avenue and 4 Avenue, to allow for the re-addition of on-street parking stalls.

A deep service installation, near the southwest corner of Galt Gardens, will impact motorists and pedestrians after the Heritage Day long weekend.

Monday, August 4 is Heritage Day. The City of Lethbridge will have service level changes.

Beginning Wednesday, July 30, sewer work will impact a stretch of 13 Street North.

UPDATE: This work will take place August 12 and 13.

Maintenance work is set to take place this week on the Scenic Drive overpass above 5 Avenue North. 

On July 30 and 31, single-lane closures on Scenic Drive will be in effect and two-way traffic will be maintained. 

Bridge rehabilitation work on Whoop-Up Drive will begin tomorrow, July 24, 2025, with lane closures, detours, and traffic delays. Construction will continue until the end of September, with major traffic impacts occurring in the next five weeks. This work is required to maintain this critical piece of our traffic network and prevent costly repairs in the future.

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.
