Bridge work detours traffic on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary

Starting at 11 p.m. on July 20, northbound Deerfoot Trail lanes will be closed in the vicinity of the interchange and traffic will be detoured onto the interchange ramps and then back down to northbound Deerfoot Trail. The detour will be in effect until 5 a.m. July 21.

The lane closures and detours accommodate repairs and an overlay of the interchange’s eastbound bridge deck. The closures and detours protect the travelling public from potential falling debris from the activities on the bridge deck above.

Motorists should use caution in the area and obey all signs, message boards, and flag people. Motorists are reminded that fines for speeding are doubled through construction zones when workers are present.
