Ice jam damages bridge in R.M. of Torch River
Spring ice floes have shut down and damaged a bridge in the R.M. of Torch River.
Administrator Nathalie Hipkins told paNOW the bridge on Range Road 2150, just North of Highway 35 and the village of White Fox, suffered minor ice damage earlier this week, and was subsequently closed to traffic.
“We noticed it about 8 [a.m.] yesterday morning,” Hipkins said. “We do have a little bit of damage to the railing. It’s all iced up.”
The route is fairly high-traffic, Hipkins said, and is the primary highway access point for many local residents.
