Road Reports

Crews will be out at Veterans Boulevard and the East Lake ramp tonight at 10 p.m. to replace the traffic signal pole.

During this work, the signal will flash red in all directions, acting like a four-way stop, and a temporary stop sign will be set up on the southbound side.  

Drivers are reminded to treat flashing red signals as a stop and approach the intersection with caution.

If you're heading that way tonight, please drive carefully and plan for a short delay.

An earlier collision at 8th Street and the Yankee Valley Boulevard intersection caused big delays in Airdrie. 

Traffic in all directions was down to one lane with crews on the scene. At one point the traffic northbound on 8th Street was shut down completely. The scene is now clear and traffic is flowing again. 

There have been multiple collisions in and around Airdrie over the last couple of days, despite clear roads and higher than normal temperatures. 

A multi-vehicle collision was slowing down southbound QEII traffic, but has since been cleared.

Four vehicles were involved in the collision blocking the left-hand lane and shoulder right before the Balzac Overpass.

Crews are no longer on the scene.
