A stretch of Crowchild Trail in Calgary’s northwest will see lane restrictions for several months starting Monday.
The City of Calgary is kicking off maintenance on Monday along the major route from 32 Avenue NW near the University of Calgary to Stoney Trail NW.
Construction beginning on June 3 has an expected completion date sometime in September. At least one lane will remain open in each direction during the work.
