Derailed train cars removed from crossing: repairs continue at Hwy #11 & Wanuskewin Rd.

Work crews have cleared all the damaged cars from Tuesday’s derailment at the crossing at Highway #11 and Wanuskewin Road.

Repairs to the track continue this morning; when those are complete the highway will need to be inspected before it opens to vehicular traffic. Northbound traffic remains closed.

Transportation Safety Board (TSB)  investigators arrived last night to gather information and that work continues today. 

One lane of southbound traffic on Highway #11 is open; speed and traffic restrictions are in place.

Until the roadways are inspected and safe to open,  Highway 11 northbound to Warman is closed just past 71st Street; traffic is being detoured to Highway 12 through Martensville and Highway 305 back to Highway 11 for locations north of Warman. Wanuskewin Road northbound is closed just past Penner Road to allow access to Cathedral Bluffs.

Please watch for message boards and obey speed restrictions and safety information.
