A portion of Georgian Drive was also closed briefly while police monitored the bear’s movements.
Police say they followed the bear as it headed north along the highway, and monitored it as it moved into a deep, wooded area just north of the city.
The highway was reopened after the brief closure, which lasted less than an hour.
