Temporary Road Closures
Roads are temporarily closed in Leduc for many reasons, including planned construction, special events and during emergent emergency responses, here are several factors involved in determining how disruptive a road closure will be to the community: the type of roads involved (residential, collector, arterial), the extent of closure (lane reductions, local traffic only, complete closures), and the duration of the closure (a few hours, a few days, many weeks).
