Bridge rehabilitation work on Whoop-Up Drive will begin next week and construction will continue until the end of September, weather permitting. Lane closures in each direction and detours will create traffic delays on Whoop-Up Drive and adjoining commuter routes. Motorists are advised to expect a longer commute time.
Two lanes of traffic in each direction will be maintained for the majority of the construction timeline. This work is required to maintain this critical piece of the traffic network and prevent costly repairs in the future. Â
The first five weeks of work will require significant lane closures, detours, and reduced speed limits which is expected to increase traffic congestion in the area. Motorists are advised to plan their commute accordingly, by adding extra time to help reduce frustration due to delays; or use alternate routes during peak traffic hours.Â
Northbound Scenic Drive to Whoop-Up Drive exit will be closed and motorists will be detoured to Highway 3 to access west Lethbridge. The exit to northbound University Drive from westbound Whoop-Up will only be accessible to the outside westbound lane.Â
Digital signage on Whoop-Up Drive will be in place to alert commuters about changes over the summer. Signage and controls will be in place to direct traffic around the lane closures.Â
For the safety of workers and motorists, speeds will be lowered to 30, 50 or 60 km/h in construction zones; and motorists are asked to observe the posted speeds.
Residents are encouraged by the City to check its WebMap for up-to-date information on road closures, facility closures and city projects and initiatives.Â

Bridge rehabilitation is required to protect the bridge and provide safe conditions to Lethbridge residents, says the City. Bridge expansion joint replacement will take place on two of the westbound lanes.Â
Done in cycles, the City of Lethbridge analyzes bridge conditions and identifies work that will preserve the structures. Rehabilitation work performed at the right time reduces the potential for larger repairs, replacements, or structural failures.
