As the Region of Waterloo prepares to start improvements on Maple Grove Road, drivers may want to start planning alternate routes to avoid traffic headaches.
Phase one of the work is scheduled to start in June, affecting Maple Grove Road between Hespeler Road and Beaverdale Road. The road will stay open during that time, however there will be lane reductions.
In the fall, westbound access to Hespeler Road from Fisher Mills Road will be closed for four to six weeks. Signs will go up before the closure happens.

This year's work includes installing new asphalt multi-use paths, a roundabout at Hespeler Road, widening the road to four lanes, rehabilitating the Ellis Creek Bridge, improvements to stormwater and drainage systems, and putting up upgraded street lights.
Drivers can keep up to date on all the impacts to traffic through the Region of Waterloo's website.
The project currently has a $70 million budget.
