HIGHWAYS UPDATE 13:15h June 26, 2013: Parks Canada Opens Trans-Canada Highway for 2-Lane Traffic from Town of Banff to Park's East Gate
The Trans-Canada Highway re-opened at 3:30 pm today east of the town of Banff, for both private and commercial vehicles. Due to the repairs still underway, the highway will be reduced to single-lane traffic in each direction for 12 kilometres between the park's East Gate and the turn-off to the town of Banff. The rest of the Trans-Canada Highway through Banff National Park (west of the Town of Banff) remains a divided highway with 4-lane traffic.
At 3:30 pm today, Alberta Transportation reopened the Trans-Canada Highway east of the park, at Canmore, in both directions. With the 2-lane detour now open in the park, private and commercial traffic may travel between Golden and Calgary. Commercial traffic is also now permitted on Highway 93 South between Castle Junction and Radium.
