Clogged Highway 11 issues here to stay
Very long line-ups at busy times at the intersection of Highway 11 and Highway 2 south of Prince Albert appear to be here to stay.
The ministry said there were no plans to improve flows at that T-junction.
paNOW has heard of a line-up of vehicles several kilometres long Friday afternoon and early evening as motorists from the South headed north toward P.A. and the lakes for the long weekend.
“We hear about the large volumes of traffic at busy times like holidays and Friday rush hour because we have highways staff who are based in Prince Albert,” Doug Wakabayashi with the ministry told paNOW. “While there are some traffic operation concerns, and what transpired on the past weekend is a good example of that, the safety profile of that intersection is pretty good right now.”
