Work is underway to upgrade an overpass at one of the main highway interchanges on the way into and out of Prince Edward Island, so drivers will see a temporary redesign over the next several months.
The so-called Albany Y intersection is where the Trans-Canada Highway intersects with Route 1A.
Drivers coming off the Confederation Bridge in Borden-Carleton have the option to either take the overpass that leads them east toward Charlottetown, or veer right onto a ramp that takes them out under the highway and onto the 1A west toward Summerside.
The overpass was built in the 1960s and needs to be replaced. At the same time that’s happening, P.E.I.’s Transportation Department will shift it slightly further west, toward Middleton, to smooth out the tight curve that drivers headed east currently have to navigate.
