Upcoming lanes closures on two major roadways

Two separate projects will see lane closures along Whoop-Up Drive and Scenic Drive South in the coming days.

The westbound Whoop-Up Drive work includes ongoing scaffolding installation under the bridge. Crews will not be visible to motorists. The scaffolding supports the upcoming bridge coating project to protect the lifespan of the bridge.

The second project requires Telus contractors to access Telus manholes along Whoop-Up Drive and Scenic Drive South.

The following is a detailed list of all lane closures scheduled for May 9 – 16.

Saturday, May 9

• Beginning at 6 a.m., the right lane of westbound Whoop-Up Drive will close. The work will shift to the left lane, extending beyond the bridge.
