Weekend construction to impact Burlington Skyway
Motorists, beware — there is construction on the Burlington Skyway this weekend. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) will be closing two lanes of the Niagara-bound QEW at the bridge starting Friday at 10 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m., according to a notice from the City of Burlington. All ramps from the Eastport Drive collector lanes to the Skyway Bridge will be closed, while Northshore Boulevard will remain open. Eastport Drive collector lanes and Eastport Drive can be used by motorists as a detour or alternative route. Two lanes of traffic will remain open on the Niagara-bound QEW at all times during the construction — which is set to occur over many weekends. Transit riders are also being warned of the potential for 'significant transit delays,' with residents asked to check MyRide or Google Maps for arrival time information. Traffic interruptions won't come to an end this weekend , with annual maintenance on the Lincoln Alexander Parkway scheduled to take place from Friday, June 13, to Monday, June 16. That closure, originally expected to take place this weekend, was rescheduled due to the work on the Skyway. The upcoming shutdown will be the sixth annual closure for the Linc, allowing crews to do asphalt repairs, resurfacing, catch-basin cleaning, bridge maintenance, pavement marking and signage repairs. For the Linc closure, the eastbound lanes will be closed from 8 a.m. on June 13 to 5 a.m. on June 16. The westbound lanes will be closed from 10 a.m. June 13 to 5 a.m. on June 16. Detour routes will be via Mohawk Road and Stone Church Road. Motorists can access the 403 eastbound from the Mohawk Road on-ramps, while those travelling into the city via the 403 will be directed to exit at the Golf Links off-ramp. Those work dates are weather-dependent, and any changes will be relayed to the public. Residents are reminded to plan ahead and use alternate routes, as well as expect delays and increased traffic on neighbouring roads. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

CVLB Sarawak warns e-hailing operators over illegal drivers without permits
Kong says the CVLB Sarawak had identified platforms such as Capto and MyRide for operating without the necessary Intermediate Business Licence in the state. KUCHING (May 16): The Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) Sarawak has issued a stern warning to e-hailing operators allegedly allowing drivers without valid e-hailing vehicle permits (EVPs) to operate, stressing that such actions pose serious safety risks and violate existing transport regulations. Its chairman Michael Kong said the board had identified platforms such as Capto and MyRide for operating without the necessary Intermediate Business Licence (Lesen Perniagaan Pengantara) in Sarawak. 'These operators are in clear breach of the law, and we will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement actions against them. 'CVLB Sarawak will also work closely with other relevant authorities to curb these illegal operations and ensure full compliance with regulatory frameworks,' he said in a statement today. He emphasised that the EVP serves not only to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of drivers on the road, but also to safeguard both passengers and drivers in the event of untoward incidents. 'Without an EVP, a driver's vehicle insurance is typically rendered void when used for commercial e-hailing purposes. 'This exposes not just the vehicle owner to significant personal liability, but also places passengers and other road users at considerable risk,' he said, urging all e-hailing drivers and operators to comply fully with the relevant laws and regulations. 'CVLB Sarawak remains committed to upholding the safety, integrity, and professionalism of the commercial transport sector. 'The public's trust and well-being must never be compromised for profit or convenience.' CVLB e-hailing operators illegal drivers permits
