For those heading north on Highway 59 this weekend, you'll need to take a detour.

The province is closing the intersection of Highway 59 and the north Perimeter Highway starting Friday night at 10 p.m.

Crews will demolish the concrete loop there, to make way for a new interchange.

Detour signs have been posted to direct drivers.

The closure will last about 48 hours, and will be complete in time for Monday morning rush hour.
