Highway 742 Reopening Delayed | Calgary News

Highway 742 near Canmore is finally nearing reopening after a two-month closure caused by a massive rockslide from Mount Rundle — boulders dumped onto the road during heavy rains. Officials are racing against time to complete emergency rock scaling repairs, which involve securing loose rocks with bolts and can’t be done while traffic flows. The $1.1 million stabilization effort has frustrated hikers and adventurers who rely on this route to access Ha Ling Peak and Goat Creek. While officials now expect the road open by end of August, delays remain possible. Meanwhile, Powderface Trail stays closed due to a washout — though other Kananaskis trails fared better than the 2013 disaster.
