A reported accident on westbound Highway 16 near Highway 779 is affecting traffic flow and prompting diversions for motorists traveling through the area.
The incident was reported just west of Highway 779, near the 779 overpass, where traffic movement has been disrupted as authorities respond to the scene.
Drivers traveling westbound are reportedly unable to exit from the overpass while officials work to manage the situation and maintain safety around the affected roadway.
Motorists approaching the area are being directed toward Highway 16A and nearby backroads as alternative routes. The diversion is intended to keep vehicles away from the immediate accident area while allowing emergency crews and responders enough space to safely operate.
Drivers are advised to use caution, expect possible delays, and consider alternate routes until the roadway situation is resolved and normal traffic flow resumes.
Further details regarding the cause of the accident, possible injuries, and the timeline for reopening the affected area have not been released at this time.
