Construction got underway over the weekend on Highway 3 just east of Highway 25 to east of 43 Street.

Between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., the provincial project will be milling, paving, doing concrete work, signage and signal upgrades.

There will be grooved pavement, temporary markings, and lane, ramp and turn-lane closures during this time, as well as reduced speed zones.

During the day, ramps will be open and two lanes in each direction will usually be available.

Electronic message boards will be in place to advise drivers of any upcoming changes. The projected completion date is July 31, weather permitting.

Motorists are asked to please maintain safe distance from excavated areas and machinery while work is in progress. Slow down and pay attention to signs and crews working to keep everyone safe.
