Highway 6 bypass in Caledonia reopens to traffic following repairs

The Highway 6 bypass in Caledonia has reopened to traffic following weeks of repairs.

The road block was removed last month but the road had been dug up and needed resurfacing before it could reopen to traffic.

The decision to open the roads will always remain with our community. We will continue to maintain safety for folks on the ground with the by-pass open. Safety of folks on the ground will always be our top priority.

The road block was put in place last summer by a group protesting a housing development on McKenzie Rd.
