Decision on 43 Street South closure delayed two weeks
LETHBRIDGE – City Council has delayed a decision to allow for the permanent closure of 43 St. S. from the Hwy 4/ 24 Ave S. intersection, to the area near Gateway Mews South.
At a public hearing Monday, the closure was requested by the developer to allow for construction of the new Southbrook School and sports fields on the east side of what is now 43 St. S.
The first stage, beginning May1, would be to close 43 St. S. to all traffic except for emergency vehicles, from 24 Ave. S., to Fairmont Gate.
Motorists who access the road to get to their homes or south Lethbridge shopping, would be detoured around the area as new roads are being built.
