Visitors to Vernon's Hurlburt and Ellison Provincial parks, along with residents in the area, should take note of road work starting nearby.
There will be intermittent 30-minute road closures on Eastside Road due to rock scaling and excavation for the city's rock slope stabilization project.
The work begins Tuesday, May 20, and runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Tuesday, June 3.
"Residents should plan their commutes around these road closures over the next two weeks, from Monday through Saturday," said the city.
The rock stabilization project is scheduled to be completed this spring, but a portion of the work may be deferred until the fall.
