This release was issued under a previous government.
There may be periods of time when lane closures are in effect and no workers are present, as the concrete panels require seven days to cure before they are safe for motorists to use.
Project updates are available on Twitter @AMARoadReports and using the hashtags #YEGTraffic and #SWHenday.
Motorists should use caution in the area and obey all signs, message boards, and flag people. Motorists are reminded that fines for speeding are doubled through construction zones when workers are present.
