Spray Lakes Road Closure
The Spray Lakes Road (Highway 742) connects the Town of Canmore to the recreational opportunities in the Spray Valley. Over the last 25 years, use on this road has substantially increased and the infrastructure supporting the road surface requires repairs. Alberta Transportation will begin road construction on the north end of the Spray Lakes Road in July. Construction work involves repairing the gabion wall that helps support the road below Whiteman’s Pond. The Spray Lakes Road will be open during construction, however, traffic will be reduced to single lane alternating traffic. Expect substantial traffic delays.
The section of road under construction is located directly above Grassi Lakes hiking and climbing area. To ensure safety of recreational users to Grassi Lakes, Alberta Parks will enact a partial area closure including Upper and Lower Grassi Lakes and all climbing routes.
Beginning July 3rd to September long weekend:
- Upper and Lower Grassi Lakes and climbing area are closed.
- Hiking trails from the Grassi Lakes Day Use Area trailhead to the northeast shoreline of Lower Grassi Lake are open.
- Access routes to Ryders of Rohan and the front of Ha Ling Peak via the Whiteman’s Pond dam are open.
