PHOTOS: St. Louis Bridge will remain closed for the weekend
It’s going to be another headache for those traveling from St. Louis and further south to Prince Albert this weekend.
Another road closure is holding up Highway 2 after a summer of flooding issues last year closed down two separate sections of the highway.
This time the St. Louis Bridge is to blame for the closure and Doug Wakabayashi with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure said it’s due to structural damage.
“Our staff noticed a crack going across the driving surface of the bridge,” said Wakabayashi. “So we’ve had bridge engineers that have taken a look at it, and they’ve concluded a more thorough inspection needs to be done to determine the cause of the crack.”
