Ponoka drivers should be aware of some construction this morning.
Temporary partial lane closures will begin in town today on Highway 53 between Highway 2A and 38th Street as crews prepare the road for repaving.
Crews will first remove the old asphalt, with paving work expected to start early next week. The lane closures will remain in place until the work is complete.
Traffic will be maintained in both directions, with at least one lane open at all times. The speed limit will stay at 50 km/h along the construction zone.
Drivers and pedestrians are asked to use caution around crews and follow posted signs and traffic personnel.
For more information and construction updates, visit the Highway 53 project webpage.
