People looking to get out of town for one of the last weekends of summer break could face significant delays beginning Friday. And they'll likely experience the same when coming back into town on Sunday.

Construction continues at Lagimodiere Boulevard and Fermor Avenue, and starting at 6 p.m. on August 21, the intersection will see significant closures and restrictions for the weekend.

Motorists travelling either eastbound or westbound on Fermor Avenue will not be able to cross the intersection; only right turns onto northbound or southbound Lagimodiere Boulevard will be permitted. 

Motorists can continue to travel northbound or southbound on Lagimodiere Boulevard through the intersection at Fermor Avenue; however, traffic will be limited to one lane in either direction, and access to eastbound and westbound Fermor Avenue will be restricted to right turns only.

The City of Winnipeg says "Motorists should expect significant delays, allow additional travel time to get to their destinations and use alternate routes, such as Dugald Road or Provincial Trunk Highway 59. Pedestrian and cycling access will be maintained."

The closure and restrictions are expected to remain in place until 9 p.m. on Sunday, August 23.
