Boils On Highway 4 East Cause Transport Warnings
Manitoba Department of Transportation cites prolonged wet weather last summer and fall and rapid spring warming as creating an unusually high number of boils on roads across the province. Boils form when water pockets freeze creating ice lenses that heave the roadbed. Rapid thawing then loosens the sub grade and surface, causing damage and potential weight restrictions this spring. The north and west area around Minnedosa is most affected.
