The Ministry of Transport is advising motorists that sections of Rte. 303 South will be closed from May 29 to July 19 for culvert replacements.
Local traffic is permitted in areas where work is not being done. Traffic is being detoured on Rte. 301 South and Hwy. 148.
The ministry announced the closure in a press release sent to media on May 28. MTQ spokesperson Rosalie Faubert said that the ministry usually tries to notify residents at least a week in advance of road work. On behalf of the Ministry, she apologized for any inconvenience caused by the construction or the short notice period.
The 303 was closed in 2016 to replace a culvert that washed out near Front Road, but Faubert said that that particular culvert was not a part of this year’s repairs. The ministry will be replacing 7 culverts along the road over the coming weeks.
