Starting on Monday, it will take a little longer to get over the Oldman River on Highway 3. The bridge is being reduced to one lane in each direction to allow for rehabilitation work.

A release from the province on Friday said traffic would be restricted to the westbound lanes, with one lane travelling in each direction.

The speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h and there will be a width limit of 3.7 metres for large trucks.
