Road closure detours for hockey fans heading to Saddledome Farewell season

Fans heading to the Saddledome for its final hockey season are advised to plan their routes due to road closures until mid-November. The Calgary Municipal Land Corporation announced that from mid-September to early October, 6th Street will be closed south of 12 Avenue S.E., and later in October, it will close between 11th and 12th Avenues with lane reductions at intersections. Additionally, Northbound Macleod Trail will have intermittent lane restrictions between 18 Avenue and 12 Avenue S.E. until early October. Sidewalks on 14 Avenue S.E. are closed until October 2nd, while periodic closures on 5A Street S.E. continue into mid-November.

Despite these disruptions, the corporation assures fans that there will always be an alternative way to access the district, including by train, car, bike, or foot. Emma Stevens, Director of Communications and External Relations at the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, emphasized that planned events would still take place during this period despite the road changes.
