By-Pass Clean-Up completed

It took a lot longer than expected to clean up a chemical spill on

Highway 17-A.

The OPP say a spill of strychnine pellets on the by-pass took over
24 hours to clean up.

The section of the by-pass between the Redditt Road and the Minaki
Highway was finally re-opened around 6:30 Saturday morning.

A Hazmat Unit from Winnipeg was called in deal with the situation.

Police say there was no danger to the public as a result of the spill.
