First responders with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services are expected to be at the site as well.

City officials said there may be some impacts to traffic adjacent to the Mill Woods stop and are asking those travelling in the area Friday morning to follow the directions of emergency services crews.

The exercise is expected to last about two hours.
