Motorists traveling on the North-South Arterial will encounter a slight delay Saturday morning.

Between 6:30 and 7:30, traffic will be stopped from the Burrstone Road exit to Route 12 north and the I 790 ramp to Route 12 south.

The stoppage is necessary so contractors can erect the center span of the new pedestrian bridge.

The operation is expected to be completed in about 15 minutes.
