Rainfall delays Yellowhead Trail weekend closure

Previously planned construction that would have reduced part of Yellowhead Trail to one lane for the weekend was postponed.

The city says recent rainfall means crews will instead begin work between St. Albert Trail to 97 Street on June 12.

The city said motorists should expect delays in the area.

Additionally, the right turn from northbound 107 Street to eastbound Yellowhead Trail will remain closed, and the left turn from northbound 107 Street to westbound Yellowhead Trail will be reduced to one lane, for all of July.

Construction is part of the Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion project.
