Part of Hwy 93 north of Lake Louise collapses into river
LAKE LOUISE, AB – Crews spent much of the morning on Friday, August 12, 2022, getting traffic back into order after part of a highway collapsed.
511 Alberta reports that there is a washout on Highway 93 near the North Saskatchewan River. The area is approximately 95 km north of Lake Louise by the Sunset Pass Trailhead.
A spokesperson with Parks Canada adds that on the evening of August 11, 2022, the river breached its banks, causing erosion on the Icefields Parkway near the Rampart Creek Campground, approximately 18 km north of the Saskatchewan River Crossing.
“It is believed that the river levels are a result of the late season snowpack, along with unseasonably high temperatures,” reads a statement from Parks Canada.
