Temporary closures on Stafford Drive South for crane operations

City of Lethbridge officials say crane activity will once again require temporary traffic and pedestrian adjustments along Stafford Drive South on Saturday, April 18.

Officials say the work is expected to take around five hours.

Starting at 7 a.m., the northbound lanes between 4 Avenue South and 5 Avenue South will close. The city says two‑way traffic will still operate in the area, with northbound vehicles shifted into the centre turning lane. Both southbound lanes will stay open throughout the work.

According to the city, access to the parking lots behind City Hall will not be available during this time. The lot surrounding the former RCMP building, however, will remain open. Officials note, access will be restricted to the south entrance and drivers will be able to enter from either direction on Stafford Drive.
