Highway 61 Opening Delayed

If you are one of the many drivers being inconvenienced by the closure of Highway 61 your woes will continue for several more days.

The highway between Broadway and Neebing Avenues was to have opened tomorrow morning.

However, the ministry of transportation tells us work on the damaged CN Rail overpass needs more emergency work than expected.

Highway 61 will now open on Monday instead.

The overpass was damaged on November 5th after police claim an over-height vehicle crashed into it.

OPP tell us a driver has been identified and that charges are pending.
