The City of Lethbridge began emergency repairs to a traffic signal cabinet at the intersection of Mayor Magrath Drive and 32 Avenue South in Lethbridge, Alberta, on February 26, 2026. All traffic lights at the site were turned off to allow crews to work on the damaged equipment, leading to immediate changes for local drivers.
Motorists are currently prohibited from making left-hand turns from Mayor Magrath Drive onto 32 Avenue South. Additionally, the city has closed 32 Avenue to all eastbound and westbound traffic between 32 Street and Fairway Street while the work continues.
Official signs are in place to guide vehicles through the area, as the intersection is not being treated as a standard four-way stop. Only northbound and southbound vehicles are allowed to travel straight through the intersection on Mayor Magrath Drive during the repair period.
These changes impact access to the Fairway Plaza shopping area and may cause delays for commuters and users of Lethbridge Transit. This route is a primary path for the cityLINK transit service, which connects the city to Lethbridge Polytechnic.
