Alberta's Icefields Parkway partially reopens on Fri, with restrictions, after two-week closure due to wildfires.
Alberta's Icefields Parkway, a key highway passing through Jasper National Park, is set to partially reopen on Friday after being closed for over two weeks due to wildfires. Highway 16 will open to all traffic, with restrictions on stopping or exiting, and no washroom or refueling facilities available. The Icefields Parkway will reopen between Saskatchewan Crossing and the Athabasca Glacier area of the Columbia Icefield, with access only from the south via Highway 11 or the Trans-Canada Highway. The road remains closed between the Athabasca Glacier and Jasper due to ongoing wildfire threats.
