Aug. 2, 2001 – Paving work on the Queen Mary Highway starting Thursday and continuing through next Wednesday is likely to cause road closures, detours and delays.
The Public Works Department will begin paving between the Kingshill and La Reine intersection Thursday. The work on that section, scheduled to begin at 8:45 a.m. and end at 4:45 p.m., is expected to continue through Friday.
Work will resume Monday at the Kingshill intersection and continue on to the west of the Kingshill intersection.
Public Works Commissioner designate Wayne Callwood said, "Motorists will be detoured accordingly in order to avoid any obstacles with the construction work."
He suggested motorist seek alternative routes such as the Northside Road, Route 75 via Body Slob via Clifton Hill, Route 663 or the Melvin Evans Highway, Route 66.
