“There’s a hole in the road,” Const. Rob Carver said. “We’ve notified works and ops and they’ll be sending out people — they have a 24-hour emergency ability because things do happen to streets outside of regular hours.”
In a statement Sunday afternoon, the City of Winnipeg said the bridge could reopen later in the day — noting crews were out patching the asphalt that had detached from the road.
Pedestrian access was maintained while the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic.
