On Friday, CP Rail is redoing the tracks closing the highway near Aldersyde on Highway 7 from 6 a.m. till 6 p.m.

Rob Ramsay, lead hand at the Volker Stevin Aldersyde shop, says two intersections will be closed.

"It will just be closed off at the Petro-Canada intersection and it will be closed off at the 2A/7 intersection at the lights."

No detours are set for the area so Okotokians will either have to access or exit the community through other roads.
