Starting Saturday, June 18, there will be no access to the QEII from Edmonton Trail due to some necessary road maintenance.

Residents are being encouraged to take an alternate route as the maintanence, which starts at 3rd Ave, will require a seal coating to be applied to the road.

Adam Carroll, a municipal engineering technologist, said as long as the weather co-operates, the maintenance will be finished by Sunday evening.

"This application has to be hot weather; dry, hot weather is the best way to get it done properly."

The maintenance starts up at 9:00a.m. on Saturday and will finished up on Sunday at 7:30p.m.

Residents who use 3rd Ave to access Edmonton Trail north bound will not be affected.
