Destinations between Castle Junction and the construction zone, such as Lake Louise and Field, B.C., will be accessible from the east during the closure. Driver should expect congestion and delays on the alternate routes — highways 93S and 95 — during the closure. Choosing to drive during off-peak times is encouraged.
The construction zone will open briefly to limited local and commuter traffic. Drivers must get prearranged permits and will be escorted through by a pilot vehicle during half-hour periods from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The upgrade to the 4.8-kilometre stretch is expected to be completed in winter 2023-24. It will expand the corridor to a modern, four-lane standard to make it safer and more reliable.
