Bridge Washed Out Near Stanley Mission

The heavy rain over the weekend is playing havoc with highways north of La Ronge.
The Lynx Creek Bridge near Stanley Mission was washed out last night. Crews worked late into the night to repair the bridge, and early this morning, the bridge was re-opened.
Highway 905 north of Southend is completely shut down because of four severe washouts.
As well, there are a couple of washouts on Highway 102 between La Ronge and Brabant Lake that will require traffic to proceed with caution.
Department of Highways spokesman Lionel Pillar says locals say they have never seen the kind of rain that produced these washouts.
Pillar says it could be a day or two before some of these situations are under control.
