Closures lifted: Icefields Parkway, Maligne Road open

UPDATED March 3

Closures on the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93-N) and the Maligne Lake Road have been lifted.

Jasper National Park public safety officials were performing avalanche control work.

A winter storm which started Wednesday, February 28, deposited snow across Jasper National Park. The snow required avalanche control work to keep travellers safe, Parks Canada said.
