Public Advisory: Traffic Diverted on TCH near Pasadena as Precautionary Measure

The Department of Transportation and Works advises that traffic on the Trans Canada Highway near Exit 13, the eastern exit to Pasadena, has been diverted as a precautionary measure.

Ongoing assessment of the highway in this area has identified a second area of concern and further geotechnical investigation is being carried out to determine if repairs or remediation are required.

The department is continuing to monitor the site which is located approximately five kilometres from the April 29 road collapse near Exit 12.
