New traffic camera shares real-time coverage on part of Highway 3

Those who plan to travel along the Highway 3 river crossing will be able to check road conditions ahead of time thanks to the installation of a new traffic monitoring camera.

The City of Lethbridge says the new camera captures westbound and eastbound traffic before, on and after the bridge, with still images taken every two minutes. This will cover the past 20 minutes of activity on the crossing.

This move follows the installation of four cameras set up to cover Whoop-Up Drive, as well as the exit ramps at University Drive and Scenic Drive. All cameras are set up so any information that could personally identify someone cannot be seen on the web feed.

The City adds the new cameras can also be used to support its traffic monitoring and management work, with the newest one being tied into the Whoop-Up Drive Emergency Traffic Protocol. All cameras can be seen at the City of Lethbridge website.

Born and raised in Calgary, Kass, from a young age, developed a love for learning people's stories and being able to share them with the community (or her family, or whoever would listen). In addition to working in communities like Okotoks and Calgary, Kass has also spent her summers travelling with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association since 2019, to help provide a peek behind the barn door into the world of chuckwagon racing. Outside of work and anything horse related, Kass is a reader and an avid country music fan, and most likely can be found with the biggest cup of coffee possible.
