Drivers in downtown Weyburn will need to adjust their routes starting today, as the City of Weyburn has announced a new road closure.
Effective Monday, the intersection at 5th Street and Souris Avenue is fully closed to traffic. The closure is necessary for crews to perform vital watermain infrastructure work. City officials anticipate this closure will last for a few days.
This new closure is an extension of a larger, ongoing project in the area. The block of Souris Avenue between 4th Street and 5th Street remains closed to traffic as part of the continuing watermain repairs.
Detours will be marked, and motorists are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid the construction zone. The City of Weyburn advises drivers to plan for potential delays and to exercise caution when travelling near the work area.
Local businesses in the affected area have been notified of the potential for service disruptions.
The City of Weyburn has expressed its appreciation for the public's patience and cooperation as it works to complete these necessary infrastructure upgrades. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on road closures and other important notifications through the Voyent Alert system.
