Road construction is expected to begin Tuesday on Morris Thomas Road.

Initial work and road closure will be in the area between Trunk Highway 2 and Ugstad Road. The road closure and work will progress east towards Haines Road.

Portions of Morris Thomas Road will be closed to thru traffic throughout the project, with clearly marked detours. Highway 2 will remain open for the duration of the project, though motorists are reminded to slow down and use caution anytime traveling through or near a work zone.
