Two sections of Highway 350 west of Portage la Prairie were recently affected by poor road conditions, but both have now reopened to traffic.
Southern section reopens after muddy conditions
The stretch of Highway 350 between MacGregor and Road 60, located south of Highway 1, was temporarily closed due to soft, muddy surfaces and rough patches that made driving unsafe.
Officials have confirmed this section has now reopened to traffic.
Northern section reopens following frost boil repairs
The northern portion of Highway 350, from Highway 16 to Road 73 North, has also reopened. It had been closed due to frost boils, which caused rough and unsafe driving conditions. While barricades had restricted through traffic, local access had remained in place during the closure.
Drivers are reminded to use caution, as road surfaces may still be soft in some areas.
Motorists are encouraged to continue observing all posted signage and drive carefully until conditions fully stabilize.
