Police are continuing to search for a suspect who carjacked a 72-year-old woman in the middle of the day.

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) says the violent incident took place in the Norwood East area on Wednesday.

Investigators say that the woman was returning to her parked SUV in the area of Tache Avenue and Horace Street when a male suspect confronted her. The suspect tried to take her keys from her hand and began punching her. He then dragged her out of the vehicle and stole it.

Autumn is just one day away, but construction season is still in full swing and people driving through Winnipeg's downtown should be aware.

New barricades have gone up at Portage and Main, reducing westbound traffic approaching Main Street to one lane. 

Other barricades also reduce traffic for eastbound Portage, and southbound Main. 

The City of Winnipeg's Traffic Management Centre says that delays should be expected.

The TMC is recommending to use an alternate route if you are able to.
