One of the best parts about warm weather is the inspiration the sun gives you to go places.

The bad news about warm weather is it usually marks the beginning of road projects.

For instance, one of New Westminster’s busiest intersections will be closed for about 24 hours this weekend due to a paving project.

The intersection of Front Street and Columbia Street in New West will be closed starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 24 until the evening of Saturday, May 25, according to Metro Vancouver.

“All drivers, particularly trucks, are asked to plan ahead and use alternatives to avoid delays,” read a tweet from @MVRoadWork.
