The ramp leading from Route 75, Veteran’s Memorial Highway, to the eastbound Trans-Canada Highway will be closed for paving beginning Saturday, June 26.

The closure is necessary for the safety of motorists and crews working in the area and to avoid lengthy traffic delays.

During the closure, motorists travelling from Veterans Memorial Highway will detour onto the westbound Trans-Canada Highway and can access the eastbound lanes via the Hodgewater Line interchange at exit 30 approximately six kilometres away.

The department anticipates this work being completed and the ramp re-opening later in the weekend.

Motorists are advised to drive cautiously and expect some travel delays.

Additional details on this project and other highway construction projects are available on www.nl511.ca and the NL 511 smartphone app.
