A portion of Highway 3 from Grand Marais Road West to Labelle Street will be closed for approximately four months starting Friday at 7pm.

The temporary closure is required for the construction of the new permanent section of Highway 3 and the new intersection across the Labelle Tunnel.

The closure will be conducted in three stages with different lane restrictions and closures in place. During this work, Highway 3 between Grand Marais Road West and Labelle Street will be fully closed.
