MEDICINE HAT, AB — Drivers heading to and from Riverside will have to find an alternate route for at least a month.

Finlay Bridge is scheduled to be closed to vehicle traffic beginning on Monday to allow crews to complete the first phase of construction on Second Avenue Northeast.

The work involves the replacing of aging water and sewer lines underneath the street. The work will be completed in sections, with the first section of work running from the bridge to Second Street NE. The next phase will see work taking place between Second and Third Street starting later in June, while the third phase begins in August, with work underway between Third and Fourth Street.
