LETHBRIDGE – The bridge on Highway 3 over the Oldman River in Lethbridge will be reduced to one lane in each direction for rehabilitation work starting at the end of March.

An advisory from the provincial transportation ministry says drivers can expect delays while traffic in both directions is restricted to the westbound lanes until the end of July.

The speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h, and there will be a lane-width restriction of 3.7 metres for large trucks.

Pedestrians will not have access to the bridge during the project, and there may be periodic traffic delays on Coal Banks Trail as well as parking restrictions in the area as work is underway.
