Motorists are being diverted around crews who are working to repair a water main under Sarcee Trail in the city’s southwest and drivers can expect delays for a few days.
The southbound lanes of Sarcee Trail, near Glenmore Trail, are closed and the northbound lanes have been reduced to allow for two-way traffic.
Alberta Transportation says contractors clipped the water line with a piece of tunnelling equipment last week when they were relocating utility lines as part of the southwest ring road project.
The city says the work will continue until April 2 and motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.
CLOSURE: Lanes reduced at Glenmore Tr and Sarcee Tr SW near HWY 8 until Apr 2 for watermain repair work. Avoid area if possible. #yyctraffic
