UPDATE: The Daly Overpass has now re-opened to traffic following a train derailment under the bridge earlier this morning.
ORIGINAL STORY:
At about 1:45 this morning, Brandon Police were advised of a CP train derailment under the Daly overpass in Brandon.
In a media release, police say “three cars left the track, and at least one of the cars struck a concrete support of the overpass. The support has sustained some visible damage and efforts to determine if its strength and safety have been compromised, are underway. The cars were not carrying any hazardous goods.
As a result, 18th St both north and southbound will be closed on both sides of the Daly overpass until an accurate assessment of its safety can be made.
If you are in need of travel, please access 1st St, 26th St or 34th St for north / south access.”
