Whiteshell highway reopens after flooding

WINNIPEG – Highway 307 has reopened after torrential rains last weekend washed out a section of it.

The route is used by people driving into the central Whiteshell region.

It had been closed after the area received close to 150 mms of rain over a couple of days.
