Weekend traffic restrictions may hinder access to Brandt Centre for AEW show

The All Elite Wrestling  promotion is set to make its Saskatchewan debut Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Brandt Centre.

But while lots of fans will be heading to the show, traffic restrictions announced by the City of Regina might make it difficult to access the arena.

Beginning Friday at 8 p.m., construction on Lewvan Drive will restrict eastbound and westbound access to 11th Avenue. The work will run until 7 a.m. Sunday.
