City construction to impact Stafford Drive South Saturday

April 10, 2026

On Saturday, crane work will impact traffic and pedestrians along a portion of Stafford Drive South.

According to the City of Lethbridge, the project is scheduled to last for five hours.

Beginning at 7 a.m., the northbound lanes between 4 Avenue South and 5 Avenue South will be closed.

“However, two-way traffic will be maintained, with northbound motorists moving to the single centre turning lane. Both southbound lanes will remain open,” the City notes.

There will be no entry to the parking lots behind City Hall. The lot surrounding the former RCMP building can only be reached through the south entrance, with vehicles able to enter the lot from both northbound and southbound lanes.

The east sidewalk, next to Stafford Drive, will also be closed.

All lanes, parking lots, and sidewalks should reopen by 12 p.m.
