Flooding closes some highways around Manitoba

By CityNews Staff

Some highways across Manitoba were shut down this morning.

Highway 320 just north of Selkirk is currently closed due to flooding. The Manitoba Government says water is covering the road for a four-kilometre stretch about eight kilometres north of Highway 4.

Highway 247, just south of Winnipeg, was also closed this morning due to flooding. The water has been cleared enough and the section near Highway 75 is now open.

Highway 16 from Highway 352 to Highway 260 was temporarily shut down due to a collision in the early morning hours. The crash occurred just west of Gladstone, roughly 150 west of Winnipeg. Highway 16 was reopened a few hours following the closure.

And finally, Courchaine Road, from Turnbull Drive to Highway 200 has been temporarily shut down as the province works on a floodway operation.
