Franklin will be closed in Cambridge between Pinebush and Stafford this weekend

Your drive through Cambridge near the 401 may take a little longer this weekend.

It’s due to some extensive paving work taking place along Franklin.

Franklin will be closed between Pinebush and Stafford starting Saturday at 6 a.m. through to 6 Monday morning.

Marcos Kroker Head of Transportation Expansion with the Region of Waterloo saying this type paving needs an extensive amount of work which requires a full closure.

“Paving is best done when there is less disturbance of traffic rolling over top of our paving operations. When we can close the road it’s safer for workers, it’s safer for the motorists, and we end up with a much better product in the end because of better quality control.”

Ahead of that weekend work, Pinebush closed on Friday between Balmoral and Franklin.
