The Ministry of Transportation is working to repair Highway 522 and hopes to reopen the route by later this week.
Gordan Rennie, MTO Media Advisor told BayToday, "As of Sunday, over 7,000 tonnes of aggregates had been placed, but much work remains.
"In the meantime, we were able to repair and reopen Commanda Lake Road as a 'local traffic only' detour. The road is posted for reduced loads, so commercial traffic should take Highway 17 or 124 to Highway 69 and access the affected communities from the west."
