Yellowhead Floods Shut Down Traffic

Yellowhead Trail in Edmonton turned into a lake after heavy rain, forcing westbound traffic shutdowns from 97th to 124th Street and rerouting freeway exits south—city crews warned drivers to plan ahead and avoid delays. This flash flood echoes Mayor Knack’s 2019 $1.6 billion flood resilience plan, designed for once-in-a-century storms now arriving far too often. Thanks to Epcor’s infrastructure upgrades, the city’s stormwater system held strong—and crews are already working to restore normal traffic flow.
