Leduc County, Alberta, will have a one-lane closure on 616X main road between Range Road 15 and 20 from March 25 to March 26, 2026, while crews finish drainage work. This project is a routine step to make sure water flows correctly away from the road, which helps prevent the surface from wearing out or getting damaged over time.

While the work is happening, drivers who use this route should plan for extra travel time or look for a different way to get to their destination. According to Leduc County Road Operations, emergency vehicles and local residents will still be allowed to pass through the area during the repairs. People with questions about the roadwork can call the county at 780-979-6185.

This repair is part of a larger plan by Leduc County to improve its network of rural roads this year. The municipality is spending $2 million on specific rural road improvements, which includes cleaning out 3.5 miles of ditches. In total, the Leduc County Council has approved more than $14 million for road projects and maintenance and $3 million for bridge projects in the 2026 budget.

Mayor Tanni Doblanko and the council have prioritized these projects to support the local farming industry and people who drive these routes every day. These drainage efforts help keep the roads stable and safe for heavy farm equipment and regular vehicles throughout the year.
