On Friday, the Whoop-Up Drive Interchange Improvement project expands one block north.
According to the City of Lethbridge, the work will continue along the east side of the 300 block of Scenic Drive South, including new streetlights.
Both driving lanes along northbound Scenic Drive will remain open.
This phase includes three noteworthy impacts:
- The east sidewalk along Scenic Drive will be closed. A pedestrian detour will be in place.
- The northbound bus stop in the 300 block of Scenic Drive will be closed. This impacts anyone accessing Route 1 Sherring or Route 2 Southgate. The route will detour to eastbound 4 Avenue South, then to northbound 3 Street South, then resume its normal route along eastbound 3 Avenue. A temporary stop will be located on the east side of 3 Street, between 4 Avenue and 3 Avenue.
- Access to the Andrew Hilton/Wooden Shoe parking lot, from Scenic Drive, will be closed.
Work will also continue on other phases of the project. The entire project is scheduled for completion in November.
More information, including phase-by-phase design plans and timelines, is available on the Get Involved Lethbridge webpage.
