Drivers on the Trans-Canada Highway between Herbert and Waldeck may experience some delays.

Ongoing road work in the area, namely repaving, is causing delays as traffic is forced to slow in the work area.

The issue compounds itself at the 7 a.m. hour when the crews are rolling equipment into place. Reports of hour-long delays on what is normally a ten-minute stretch of the highway have been made to Swift Current Online. 

Other work being done in the area includes culvert installation, with equipment tunnelling under the highway.
