Good afternoon commuters!

Andrew's in forthe last fill-in Friday of the summer.

The northbound lanes of Highway 416 close at 7 p.m. tonight atFallowfieldRoad until early Sunday afternoon.

Taking a leftthen right turn toMoodieDrive seems like the best detour.

Today is the last day of on-again, off-again lane reductions on the Mackenzie King Bridge.
