Traffic on 142 Street near Stony Plain Road will be affected for around a month for drainage work as part of the Valley Line West LRT expansion project.

• traffic will be reduced to one lane east and one lane west on Stony Plain Road;
• traffic on 142 Street will be shifted east;
• northbound drivers on 142 Street will not be able to turn west onto Stony Plain Road.

Pedestrians will still be able to access the area, but detours will be in place. People are asked to follow project wayfinding signs.
