Drivers in Steinbach can expect changes to their commute starting Monday as a portion of Friesen Avenue closes for underground infrastructure work.
The City of Steinbach says Friesen Avenue between Main Street and Elmdale Street will be closed beginning April 7 as crews begin extending the sewer and water main lines. The closure will remain in effect until further notice.
The left-turn lane for southbound traffic on Main Street at Friesen Avenue will also be closed, and northbound drivers on Main Street will not be allowed to turn right at Friesen.
Access to 231 Main Street will remain open from Friesen Avenue, but there will be no access to 243 and 247 Main Street from Elmdale Street during the project.
Motorists are asked to use caution and follow all posted signage in the area while the work is being completed.
