Airdrie RCMP are asking travellers to avoid Southbound Highway 2 near Crossfield.

The southbound lane of Highway 2 at the Crossfield overpass is temporarily blocked by a jack-knifed semi. Traffic is unable to get through. Northbound traffic can pass but it is very slow at the moment.

The RCMP are asking you to avoid travel today if you can, and if you must head out, then please give yourself a lot of time to get where you are going.
