The off ramp from Brookside northbound to the Perimeter Highway eastbound is completely closed for the same reason. A detour is in place.

The crumbling road was caused by heat according to a statement from the province.

“Manitoba Infrastructure can confirm that heat caused two of the concrete panels to expand and heave/lock in a tented position on the Northbound to Eastbound leg of the PTH 7/PTH 101 North Perimeter interchange yesterday evening.”

Crews are expected to have the area reopened to traffic Monday evening.
