Title: Highway 40 Conditions? Open? Snow?
Post by: SpeedyJ on April 27, 2018, 12:57 PM

Hello all.

I'm thinking of driving my 1961 Series II from Crowsnest Pass back to Calgary this weekend, as you can imagine, it's not all that fast. I drove it down in the fall via highway 40 and would like to come back that way since it's just too slow for 22 or 2.

Does anyone know what condition highway 40 is in between Coleman and Longview?

Cheers

Jeff

You can't go the whole way due to the seasonal road closures. It opens on Tuesday.

Thanks, I didn't think to check Alberta Parks. I was looking at AMA, but it's not listed.
