Tara Seel of the Manitoba RCMP told 680 CJOB’s The Start that there’s no current plan to close the Perimeter entirely, although there are multiple sections closed because of crashes.

“The Perimeter’s in pretty bad shape right now — it’s very slippery conditions. We have multiple collisions and multiple closures around the Perimeter right now,” Seel said.

“The Perimeter as a whole is not closed, just where the collisions have occurred… although that’s multiple locations at this point, so it kind of feels like the Perimeter’s closed, in a sense.”
