Major repair work begins Monday on an overpass at the junction of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 2 near Moose Jaw.
The work on the repairs, worth $300,000, is expected to be complete by August.
On Monday, crews will install construction signs.
On Tuesday, actual repair work begins, and traffic will be reduced to one lane at two locations: eastbound on the Trans-Canada Highway (motorists may be stopped briefly) and southbound on Highway 2.
Saskatchewan's ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is reminding people that drivers who exceed 60 km/h when passing highway workers in the orange zone face a base fine of $140.
The ministry also noted in a press release that truckers, shippers and others moving oversized loads should seek alternate routes to avoid the junction.
Over-dimension loads will be restricted to 3.5 metres wide for eastbound traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway and southbound traffic on Highway 2 near the overpass. Load height remains the same at 4.5 metres.

Why doesn't the city change the bridge and make it higher so semis would not run into the bridge every year which cost's thousands of dollars each year.
