Traffic patterns are about to change for construction on Highway 16 near Clavet.

As of Tuesday, the project will be diverted to the newly completed westbound lanes from four kilometres east of Clavet to six kilometres northwest. The change in traffic is necessary to allow construction crews to complete tie-ins for eastbound lanes.

Access to Clavet will continue through Highway 316 and 16. 

The entire project is scheduled to complete in 2017.

Motorists are also being reminded to use caution when entering construction zones and to slow to 60 km/hour.
