City's annual milling and paving program starts this week

Each year, the City of Lethbridge works to improve road conditions around the city through the milling and paving program. The 2026 program is scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 26.

The program is broken into three steps:

  1. Tree pruning and concrete repairs (if necessary): Before road construction begins, crews might be present to repair curbs and sidewalks and prune trees along the roadway. This work is done before milling and paving to keep the newly paved road smooth and intact. 
  2. Milling: Crews will remove the existing asphalt from a section of road to prepare it for new asphalt.  
  3. Paving: Crews will apply new asphalt to create a smooth driving surface for residents and motorists. 

The timing of any lane reductions and road closures has also been planned to limit traffic impacts, but minor delays should still be expected in work areas. Unless otherwise indicated in the list below, construction will take place in both directions of the affected road. 

Residents impacted by milling and paving in their area will be directly notified before work begins. 

Motorists, especially motorcyclists, are urged to drive with caution as road surfaces will be uneven following milling. Motorists are thanked for obeying posted signage and slowing down in construction zones. 

Stay up to date on road closures by checking the City’s Interactive WebMAP when planning a commute.
