Traffic blocked after tree falls in Bowness on windy Wednesday afternoon

A tree fell over onto Bowness Road in northwest Calgary Wednesday afternoon.

The strong wind Calgary has experienced over the past couple of days may have toppled a tree in the northwest part of the city Wednesday afternoon.

Crews were called out to cut up and remove a big tree that fell over, onto Bowness Road. It blocked the road until workers with chainsaws and chippers were able to clear the way.

The road has since reopened.
