More parking stalls being added in downtown Lethbridge

The City of Lethbridge says drivers will soon have more places to park along 6 Street South.

Starting on Tuesday, April 29, there will be a series of partial and full road closures between 4 and 5 Avenue South to allow for the addition of new on-street parking stalls.

“Crews will first remove the concrete pad, that had previously been used for transit bus passengers, on the east side of 6 Street just south of 4 Avenue. They will then re-pave the area for up to eight new parking stalls,” says the City of Lethbridge.

The following impacts will be made during construction:

• April 29 to May 2: Partial closure northbound, with through traffic still allowed
• May 2: Brief full closure of the road, then back to partial closure
• May 2 to May 5: partial closure northbound, with through traffic still allowed
• May 5: Full closure on 6 Street between 5 Avenue and 4 Avenue while paving is underway, then back to partial closure
• May 6: Road fully re-open

Nighttime construction on Hwy 3 in Lethbridge starts April 17
