Drivers should be aware of a notable 11-day road closure that begins on Monday night.
The intersection of Old Vernon Road and Acland Road will be closed, day and night, from Monday July 2 at 8 p.m. until Friday, July 13 at 6 a.m.
The closure is so that crews can build a roundabout for the intersection.
Along with the intersection, the following road closures will be in effect during construction:
- Rutland Road northbound, north of Commercial Road.
- Acland Road southbound, north of Old Vernon Road.
- Old Vernon Road westbound, west of Norris Road.
Motorists heading eastbound on Old Vernon Road will be forced to turn south on Rutland Road during the construction and detour signs will be in place.

Businesses along Sexsmith Road, Old Vernon Road and Highway 97 will remain open and accessible during construction.
The work is part of the Highway 97 six-laning project that includes the widening of 4.5 kilometres of the road to six lanes, as well as improvements to four major intersections.
