Finlay Bridge open again for vehicle traffic
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Damage from an oversized vehicle prompted the city to close Finlay Bridge to traffic for almost a full day, but it has now reopened.
The city’s municipal works department received the report Wednesday morning. An examination of the bridge found six overhead street lights that suffered damage.
“At the time, we completed an initial investigation of the lights, and today, we were working on a bit more thorough of an investigation, as well as going in and doing some repairs,” said Michael Knight, an intermediate municipal engineer with the city.
