New pathway for south Lethbridge

Aug 11, 2025 | 6:47 AM

A fresh new route is coming to south Lethbridge.

City officials say construction is moving forward on Pathway 17. The multi-use trail will run along 43 Street South and South Parkside Drive South. Designed to improve safety and connectivity, officials note the completed path will link existing routes to form a continual loop, making it easier to walk, cycle and enjoy the outdoors.

This phase of construction begins on Monday, Aug. 11, and includes traffic disruptions and detours.

• The intersection of 43 Street South and 20 Avenue South will be closed
• Drivers are encouraged to use Forestry Road South (follow the posted detour signs)
• Local traffic can access 20 Avenue South from the west at 40 Street South/Cedar Road South

City officials say the intersection should reopen on Saturday, Aug. 16, weather permitting.
