Lethbridge Police are advising the public of possible traffic disruptions inside and outside city limits as a result of a planned convoy from Lethbridge to Coutts Saturday.

Participating vehicles are expected to depart Lethbridge Saturday morning and travel to Coutts along Highway 4 before returning to the city for a private event.

Motorists can expect possible delays heading out of the city along Highway 4 starting at 8 a.m. Upon returning to Lethbridge, the convoy is expected to travel northbound on Howe Road/Range Road 211, turn westbound on the Jail Road, connect with northbound 43 Street and proceed westbound on 5 Avenue North ending the route along the 3200 block.

Anyone with travel plans in those areas is advised to expect delays or consider taking alternate routes.

Milk River RCMP are also advising the public of potential delays or disruption on Highway 4 which may affect the flow of traffic from Lethbridge to Coutts on Jan. 28 anytime between 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Alberta RCMP and partner organizations will be present to ensure that the impact on travellers will be minimized and to ensure traffic disruption will not affect public safety. 

RCMP will provide updates as needed and thank the public for their cooperation. For ongoing up-to-date highway conditions, check 511 Alberta.
