Travelers planning on using Ontario's Highway 401 through Cambridge this weekend could require an alternate route as the highway will be closed for a period of time in both directions.

The Franklin Boulevard bridge is coming down on Saturday night. According to the Ministry of Transportation, Hwy. 401 is scheduled to close at Franklin Blvd. at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday (May 26), reopening by 9:00 a.m. on Sunday (May 27).

A signed detour will be in place along Townline Rd., Pinebush Rd. and Hespeler Rd. during the closure.
