On the Red Line, there will be no CTrain service between Sunnyside and 39 Avenue stations, CMLC says shuttle buses will run every 5 minutes instead. And on the Blue Line, there will be no CTrain service between Sunalta and Bridgeland/Memorial stations, shuttle buses will run between Westbrook and Bridgeland/Memorial stations every 5 minutes instead.

There will be some service delays on the Red Line beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 20 before closing fully at 2 a.m. on Saturday morning.

CMLC adds this will allow time for more work to be done on the Victoria Park/Stampede Station rebuild.

12 Avenue S.E. will remain fully closed between 5 Street and 6 Street SE during the day for the ongoing work on the Green Line LRT’s Downtown Beltline Utilities Relocation Program, but two lanes of traffic will open to ease traffic flow for Flames games.

On Saturday May 21, 12 Avenue SE at 5 Street SE will be partially closed, and traffic will be detoured onto a new, temporary road just east of 5 Street called 5A Street SE. One sidewalk will remain open, and parking lots in the area will still be accessible.
