If you're driving from Turner Valley on Highway 22 . . . . just as you're crossing the bridge before you get to Millarville, look left . . . . . . there's a giant motorhome on its side in the middle of Threepoint Creek, obviously swept there by the flood.
The creek is getting back to its normal trickle right now so the sight is a bit incongruous.
Small matter but shows the power of what happened.
Construction is going well on the two bridges out at Turner Valley and Black Diamond. The bridge structures themselves are intact but huge sections of land leading into the bridges were swept away. Those have to be filled in and roadways reconstructed.
I've seen an aerial shot of Highway 22 between Turner and BD and that was almost severed . . . . they're starting work on that too.
I'd think Highway 22 might be functional within 2 weeks.
Traffic through Okotoks right now is absolutely horrendous as traffic from Bragg Creek can't use BD/TV anymore to go south anymore.
