At roughly 2 pm today, reports came in of a semi-truck downing the bridge on Highway 5 between Ochre River and Dauphin, with an undisclosed amount of damage.

After visiting the scene, CKDM has confirmed that the Highway 5 bridge remains intact and undamaged after the incident this afternoon.

Officers on the scene notified us that a semitrailer had taken too sharp a turn and wedged itself in the narrow bridge crossing.

This shut down traffic for over an hour, but it has since re-opened as of 3 pm today.

Current assessments report no damage to the bridge, but further investigation may be required.
