Construction projects to impact West Lethbridge
Jun 6, 2025 | 8:25 AM
Residents on the west side will notice some traffic changes, heavy equipment and potential blowing dirt over the coming months.
The City of Lethbridge says there are multiple construction projects underway in the area, including:
Grading in Piers and Crossings subdivisions
- Large-scale earth and lot grading activities have started in both Crossings and Piers (located directly west of the Garry Station and Crossings subdivisions), which is a brand-new subdivision. This work is being done by developers and their contractors
- Lot grading – a typical step in the land development process – involves the stripping of topsoil and native grasses from fields and the movement of clay within the site
- As high winds have the potential to blow loose soil particles toward adjacent properties in established urban neighbourhoods, developers and their consultants follow a soil erosion control plan. To ensure that the movement of soil is minimized, they take steps such as wind fences, watering of the site and roughing the soil to trap loose soil particles
- The developers and their consultants will monitor work activities and minimize the disturbance of soil if high winds are present. This will be monitored until the subdivision is fully built out
