Traffic Disruptions Map
An interactive map displaying traffic disruptions and road closures.
Road construction is a season in Alberta. Our harsh winters leave our roads in need of repair. This means road and lane closures during the summer months as crews work to repair damage. In addition to major capital projects, Construction Season includes fixing frost boils and potholes, upgrading roads and intersections, and improving road surfaces with crown paving and micro-surfacing. This will improve how motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and trail users move through our city. These improvements will keep our roads safe and drivable, providing long-term solutions to traffic flow, infrastructure, and pedestrian accessibility, while supporting future development projects for our growing city.
