A section of one of Vernon’s busiest roadways will have the closed sign hung for a week.
A portion of Alexis Park Drive will be shut down as crews upgrade underground utility services in the area.
Beginning Monday, May 6, at 7 a.m., Alexis Park Drive will be closed to northbound traffic between 39th Avenue and 42nd Avenue. Motorists going north will be detoured along 39th Avenue.
Access to Alexis Park Drive will remain for southbound traffic.
The work is expected to be finished by 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 10, but the timelines could change if emergencies come up.
“Some delays should be expected for motorists in the area, however, every effort will be made to minimize disruptions,” said the city. “For the safety of workers and public, please obey traffic control signage and slow-down in the area.”
The city apologizes for any inconvenience this disruption may cause and appreciates everyone’s patience while the work is being completed.
