Drivers in Lacombe County should prepare for travel delays starting April 1, 2026, as construction begins on a bridge replacement project over Jones Creek on Range Road 25-2.
The work is located south of Highway 11 and is expected to continue until May 15, 2026, depending on weather conditions. Lacombe County has advised that signage will be posted in the area to guide motorists safely around the construction zone throughout the project.
This bridge replacement is part of a larger plan by the county to maintain its infrastructure, which includes more than 400 kilometres of paved roads and 1,700 kilometres of gravel roads. The project is one of three bridge replacements totalling $2.35 million included in the 2026 capital budget. This budget, which also allocates $16.8 million toward broader road infrastructure, reflects the county’s ongoing commitment to managing its transportation network.
The area surrounding the construction site is a significant agricultural hub, home to over 1,000 farms. Residents and those transporting agricultural equipment are encouraged to plan for extra travel time or consider alternate routes while work is underway.
