If you’re heading along Highway 34 between Highway 417 and Hawkesbury this week, give yourself a little extra time.
Road crews are busy repaving the highway, which means drivers can expect alternating lane closures and short delays while traffic takes turns getting through the construction zone. The work is moving along, but it’s still enough to slow things down during busier times of the day.
To avoid the backups, many local drivers have been using alternate routes like Cassburn Road and Dandy Road. If Highway 34 is part of your daily commute, it may be worth planning a few extra minutes into your trip until the paving work is finished.
As always, slow down through construction zones, watch for workers, and be prepared for brief stops along the way.
