Highway 2 is changing near Claresholm.
It is slated to become a freeway between Calgary and Fort MacLeod.
The plan is to re-route the traffic around the community rather than through it, as is the case now.
Trent Bancarz, communications officer for Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation says it's just in the beginning stages.
A new bridge is also being built to cross Lake McGregor. 
It will replace a 50 year old culvert and causeway structure.
