Highway 596 Closed between Darlington Bay and Highway 17-A

Residents living on Highway 596 between the Darlingon Bridge and the Kenora by-pass could find it a little more difficult to get home today.

The City of Kenora is doing some emergency road work on the section of the road, about one kilometer south of Highway 17-A.

A culvert is being replaced, and the work isn't expected to be complete until about 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

Traffic will be stopped at the Darlington Bay Bridge, and only people living south of the dig site will be allowed through.

No-one will be able to cross the dig site until the work is complete.

Traffic is also being stopped at the by-pass for vehicles trying to head south on Highway 596.
