Highway avalanche control

Beginning at 7:00 am on Thursday, January 3rd, the Icefields Parkway will be closed for avalanche control work from 11 km south of the Icefields Centre to Saskatchewan River Crossing, 152 km south of Jasper.
The Icefields Parkway is expected to reopen the evening of Friday, January 4th.
Additional control work could be required on Saturday, January 5th that may result in lengthy delays.

Prévention des avalanches sur les routes

À compter de 7 h le jeudi 3 janvier, la promenade des Glaciers sera fermée aux automobilistes à 11 km au sud du Centre du Champ-de-Glace jusqu’à Saskatchewan River Crossing, à 152 km au sud de la ville de Jasper, pour permettre des travaux de déclenchement préventif des avalanches.
La promenade des Glaciers devrait rouvrir à la circulation au cours de la soirée du vendredi 4 janvier.
Il pourrait être nécessaire d’effectuer d’autres travaux de déclenchement préventif le samedi 5 janvier, ce qui pourrait causer des périodes d’immobilisation de longue durée.
