The City of Calgary is warning motorists ahead of this weekend’s scheduled road closures and lane reductions that are expected to increase travel time on city streets.

“The reality is we’re in full swing construction season,” said Sean Somers, City of Calgary Transportation. "In every corner of Calgary we’ve got work going on ranging from paving projects to pavement rehab to concrete.

Concrete pouring on Crowchild Trail (between Bow Trail and Memorial Drive) is expected to begin Friday at 9:00 p.m. and the following closures are planned:

  • Closure of the two right hand lanes of northbound and southbound Crowchild Trail from 9:00 p.m. Friday until 9:00 a.m. Saturday
  • Closure of the far right hand lane of northbound and southbound Crowchild from 9:00 a.m. Saturday until Tuesday at 5:00 a.m.

“Monday morning’s commute is going to be problematic,” said Somers.. “Stay away from that area. If that part of Crowchild Trail is part of your commute Monday morning, pick another way to get into the downtown core.”

The following ramps will be closed:

  • Ramp from southbound Crowchild Trail to eastbound Memorial Drive from Friday at 9:00 p.m. until Saturday at 5:00 a.m.
  • Ramp from eastbound Memorial Drive to southbound Crowchild Trail from Friday at 9:00 p.m. until Tuesday at 5:00 a.m.
  • Ramp from northbound Crowchild Trail to eastbound Memorial Drive from Friday at 9:00 p.m. until Tuesday at 5:00 a.m.
