Motorists travelling along the Trans-Canada Highway through Banff National Park can expect continued delays this weekend. Crews are still working to clear mud and debris from the site of Wednesday evening's mudslide, about seven kilometres west of Banff. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction. The RCMP says motorists have been pretty good about the delay, but they should still be patient when they get near the slide site. It's expected to take until the middle of next week to clear the mudslide completely and get the road reopened.
