Western Manitoba highways reopen after being closed by icy conditions

A number of highways that were closed Monday evening across western Manitoba have been reopened.

The poor winter driving conditions shut down several sections of four highways, including: 

• Highway 5, from the Saskatchewan border to Highway 584.
• Highway 45, from Russell to Rossburn.
• Highway 16, from Russell to Foxwarren.
• Highway 83, from Russell to Highway 57.

The latter two reopened shortly before 10 p.m. Monday.

The portions of Highway 5 and 45 reopened around 11:30 p.m.

More details about highway conditions are available on the province's website.
