avalanche closes road


An avalanche has forced the closure of the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and the Saskatchewan River Crossing.

Alberta Transportation officials closed Highway 93 North between the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 11 after the avalanche was triggered Thursday afternoon.

At the time, officials expected the route to be closed for at least 24 hours.
  • It sounds like they got a little carried away. Keep an eye on the road reports when traveling through B.C and western Alberta, a heavy snow pack and unusual rains have resulted in a number of slides on our highways.
