If you use the lower deck of the Centre Street Bridge for your commute, you’ll need to find a new way around.
Starting Monday morning, the lower deck will be closed to traffic — including cyclists and pedestrians — for upgrades.
The lower deck connects Memorial Drive to Riverfront Avenue.
The City of Calgary said cyclists on the south side of the bridge can detour via 3 Ave. heading west. To cross the Bow River, you’re asked to use the crossing at 2 Street S.W.
