LETHBRIDGE, AB – This weekend’s rugged winter weather caused a bit of trouble across the region.

The City of Lethbridge has provided an update on operations following the snowfall.

“Road crews have been operating 24/7 focused on priority 1 routes but heavy drifting and icy conditions still make for challenging road conditions,” the city said in a release.

“Anyone needed to travel this morning should give themselves extra time and travel with extreme caution.”

Crews are out working on resuming “normal operations” and clearing snow.
