Wide load blocks highway west of Rosetown, disrupts traffic Thursday

A wide load caused traffic disruptions west of Rosetown on Thursday morning after the semi hauling it ended up partially in the ditch.

The incident occurred before noon, a few miles west of town, as a semi-truck pulling a large building sank into the soft shoulder, blocking much of the highway in the process. The circumstances leading up to the incident have not been confirmed, but the load’s size and weight posed a challenge for recovery crews.

Traffic was reduced to the turning lane and shoulder while tow trucks worked to pull the vehicle and its oversized cargo back onto the highway. Drivers in the area experienced delays, though no injuries or collisions were reported
