Highway 7 construction planned in Mission

Aug 9, 2024 | 1:26 PM

MISSION — The provincial government is advising drivers of an upcoming lane closure on Highway 7 between Murray and Stave Lake streets as construction continues to improve the commercial truck route through Mission.

The highway will be reduced to single-lane-alternating traffic from 7:30 p.m. Friday (Aug. 9) until 5 a.m. Monday. The closure is necessary to stabilize the slope on the bank below the highway.

The project requires the lane closure to span multiple days. A construction-zone speed limit will be in effect, and drivers must obey all posted signage and follow instructions from traffic control personnel.

Motorists are urged to expect delays and plan for extra travel time. Those seeking to avoid the closure are encouraged to choose alternative routes.
