Drivers travelling on Highway 7B (Mary Hill Bypass) near Shaughnessy are advised to expect delays as nighttime lane closures are planned to start as early as Monday, July 6, 2026.

The planned lane closures will allow geotechnical work for corridor planning to take place. One travel lane will remain open in each direction at all times, while the ministry's contractor performs this work.

Lanes will be closed from the United Boulevard on- and off-ramp leading to Mary Hill Bypass (Highway 7B), through to the intersection of Shaughnessy and Argue streets, from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m., Monday through Thursday, until Aug. 17, 2026. No closures are planned for weekends.

During these times, crews are expected to perform nighttime geotechnical investigations and drilling, with noise and traffic expected to occur irregularly around the Shaughnessy-and-Argue Intersection within the Mary Hill Bypass.

During the lane closures, general commercial traffic (three metres or less) can continue to travel this route. Oversized loads will require special permits or will be directed to alternative routes.

Travellers are reminded to obey signs and check traffic updates.
