Road Reports

Traffic is moving again after multiple collisions snarled roads in northeast Calgary Monday afternoon.

Country Hills Boulevard NE between Stoney Trail and 100 Street NE has reopened to two-way traffic after an earlier crash.

Highway 564 near 84 Street NE and northbound Stoney Trail near McKnight Boulevard NE have also cleared, though delays may still linger as congestion eases.

There was no immediate word on injuries.

A section of Highway 806 north of Beiseker has reopened after a truck overturned, shutting down both directions of the roadway for most of Wednesday.

According to Alberta 511, the incident happened near Township Road 284 and forced the closure of Highway 806 between Township Roads 284 and 290.

A section of Highway 806 was reopened Wednesday evening after being shut down for the better part of the day due to a truck overturning near Township Road 284 Wednesday morning.

According to Alberta 511, the incident has shut down the highway between Township Roads 284 and 290, just north of Beiseker. All lanes are closed, and drivers are being asked to take alternate routes.

No details have been released on injuries or when the highway will reopen.

A previously semi-trailer overturned Tuesday morning on the QEII just north of Airdrie has been cleared. 

The crash was previously reported around 8:43 a.m. near Township Road 274, between Airdrie and Crossfield, according to 511 Alberta. Emergency crews responded, with southbound traffic facing congestion, delays and lane restrictions.

Calgary police issued a public advisory earlier in the day, warning of “extremely icy road conditions” throughout the city and urging drivers to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time.

Calgary police are warning drivers to expect delays and use extreme caution Tuesday morning, after icy conditions triggered multiple crashes across the city — including on Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail.

Roadwork, pathway repairs and street sweeping are all underway as spring maintenance season ramps up across Airdrie and Rocky View County.

According to the City of Airdrie's website, repairs to a pedestrian bridge in Nose Creek Park are slated to begin today. While the work is underway, path access through the area will be closed until Sept. 1. Detours will be in place along the pathway system to route pedestrians around the work zone. 

Lane closures, pathway disruptions, the hum of street sweepers and the scramble for RV parking space—April is shaping up to be a busy month on Airdrie roads.

The first impact is already underway. As of April 1, pathways in the Stonegate neighbourhood are experiencing intermittent closures to allow for dry pond rehabilitation. Meanwhile, Range Road 291 will face temporary, intermittent lane closures between now and April 28 to make way for subdivision construction.

Multiple traffic incidents across Calgary, amid winter road conditions on key commuter routes, slowed Airdrie drivers Thursday morning.

Southbound 14 Street at Stoney Trail NW was affected by a traffic incident. On the northeast side, a collision blocked the left lane on eastbound Airport Trail at 60 Street NE. Further west, a separate incident blocked the right lane on northbound Stoney Trail at McKnight Boulevard NE.
