CHILLIWACK – Prest Road in Chilliwack will undergo a temporary traffic change starting this week to ensure that the ongoing road project gets finished next month before winter conditions arrive.

The city says northbound traffic will be detoured via Bailey Road, Lindell Road, Banford Road, McGuire Road and Prest Road, while the southbound lane will remain open.

Motorists are asked to plan for the detour and allow for additional travel time.
