LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) is advising the public of a vehicle convoy that will be making its way through the city and southern Alberta on Saturday, January 27, 2024.

Vehicles will be driving between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. along Highway 3, 43 Street South and Highway 4.

The LPS added that roadways outside the city limits may be impacted, including Highway 512 and Highway 845. The Milk River RCMP said potential delays on Highway 4 could impact the flow of traffic from Lethbridge to Coutts. Motorists are advised to expect possible delays or take alternate routes.

The convoy will mark the second anniversary of a 2022 blockade at the United States border in Coutts aimed at protesting COVID-19 mandates that were in effect at that time.
