Earlier this morning, Calgary police were on the scene with a collision reconstruction team on southbound Stoney Trail following a serious injury collision that occurred. The incident has prompted authorities to close the road between McKnight Boulevard Northeast and Airport Trail Northeast.

A previous highway closure west of Cochrane has been re-opened. On Monday evening, Mounties were on the scene of a serious motor collision west of Ghost Lake Village on Highway 1A. At the time, Highway 1A was impassable and motorists were asked to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.

According to police, today just after 5 p.m., Cochrane RCMP and the Alberta RCMP Integrated Traffic Unit, along with emergency crews and STARS Air Ambulance, responded to a serious collision. 

Police said an update is anticipated.

More pothole repairs are slated to begin Tuesday and last until Wednesday afternoon on the QEII northbound between Highway 556 and Airdrie, impacting lanes and speeds in the area.

One person was transported to the hospital in stable condition, following a serious two-vehicle collision east of Airdrie near Range Road 13 and Highway 566, earlier today.

This afternoon, Mounties said that Highway 566, near Range Road 13 has been re-opened. Earlier in the day, the highway was reduced to one lane for several hours as fire crews, EMS, and police were on the scene of the collision.

Motorists can expect delays on the QEII beginning today and tomorrow. Beginning Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. and lasting till 2:30 p.m., there will be both spray patching and pothole repair, northbound on the QEII.

While the closure of 24th Street has already begun and will last till the fall due to the construction of a two-lane undivided roadway north of Reunion, motorists should be aware of several other key road and lane closures this month. 

Today, from 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., there will also be a temporary lane closure on 8 Street Southwest to accommodate shallow utility maintenance. Then starting next week on Monday, and lasting a week, there will be a temporary road closure of Midtown Boulevard for site servicing.

An earlier reported incident involving a car in the ditch heading northbound on the QEII just before the exit to Crossfield has been cleared.

The car appeared to be in the center ditch dividing the southbound and northbound lanes. There were tow trucks on the scene and there was a possibility of delays in the area.

There is no word on whether anyone sustained any injuries.

One of the city's capital projects is beginning this weekend on Saturday, June 1, which will mean that 24th Street will be closed to through traffic until this fall.

According to The City of Airdrie, 'construction of the 24th Street two lane un-divided roadway north of Reunion will begin in 2024. This project will support future development in the northwest area of the city, north of Reunion.'

The road closure will be in effect until October 1 and is necessary to facilitate the new paved roadway construction.

A previous malfunctioning light at the intersection of Yankee Valley Boulevard, Yankee Valley Crossing, and Market Street has now been fixed.

Earlier on Monday, motorists reported that because the lights were malfunctioning, the area had become a four-way stop. Motorists were asked to exercise caution at the intersection.
