Motorists travelling in Central Newfoundland will detour through Norris Arm this week while paving is being completed on a 9.7 kilometre section Trans-Canada Highway.

The detour will be in place tomorrow (Thursday, October 13) and Friday, October 14, and will allow for motorists to avoid lengthy traffic delays.

Both eastbound and westbound traffic will detour through the town via Route 351. Motorists are asked to reduce their speed, pay attention to traffic control and travel cautiously trough the community.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates this work being completed this weekend.

Information on tenders issued and awarded by the department and other public bodies is available by visiting www.merx.com/govnl.

Information on active highway construction projects and repairs is also available by visiting nl511.ca  and on the NL 511 mobile app.
