“Traffic Control Measure Implemented on Trans-Canada Highway”

Police have initiated a traffic control measure on a segment of the Trans-Canada Highway in Newfoundland’s western region following a recent collision that resulted in the closure of both lanes. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced in a statement at approximately 4:15 p.m. that traffic flow will be periodically halted throughout the evening as maintenance crews continue their operations at the scene. Motorists are advised to anticipate potential delays and are urged to reduce speed as they approach the affected area, located roughly six kilometers west of the Flat Bay Junction near Flat Bay community and Route 403 in the Bay St. George area. Authorities have indicated that there is no alternative route available and are requesting drivers to remain vigilant and comply with instructions from traffic personnel. Updates on the situation will be shared by the RCMP as new information becomes accessible.
