The Town of High River's annual Spring flood gate testing is taking place Sunday May 16th.

This will result in the Centre Street Bridge being closed for between 2 and 3 hours starting at 5:00 p.m.

The usual detour routes will be in effect via Highway 543/498 Ave. & 5 St. E.

Closures will be in place at Centre Street and High Country Drive, and at MacLeod Trail and Centre Street at Sobeys.

And as part of the Town’s annual preparedness measures, all residents are encouraged to sign up for the High River ALERT system, which is part of the Safe Communities Alert Network (SCAN).
