Police Re-Open Highway 502


Provincial Police have reopened Highway 502.

The road between Dryden and Fort Frances was closed for about an hour early this morning due to a jack-knifed transport.

No injuries are reported.

The state of the highway has become a topic of conversation as of late.

There are reports that Iron Range Bus Lines is refusing to use the road until it is properly maintained.

The bus company is using Highway 71 as an alternative to 502, even though
that's makes a longer bus trip.
