The MTO states that Highway 61 will be intermittently closed to traffic at the Chippewa Road intersection on Tuesday, June 27 from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Short-term traffic delays can be expected.
As well Highway 671, at the Black Sturgeon Creek Bailey Bridge, will be intermittently closed to traffic starting on Monday, June 26 until Wednesday, June 28. The closures are expected to last up to twenty minutes each. Peak traffic hours will be avoided.
