Winnipeg, MB – Drivers traveling through southeast Winnipeg are being warned of significant delays today following a multi-vehicle collision at one of the city’s busiest intersections.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, a crash at St. Anne’s Road and the Perimeter Highway has caused traffic lights at the intersection to go out, forcing motorists to treat the area as a four-way stop. Police say the collision involved multiple vehicles and has reduced traffic flow to one eastbound lane only.
Emergency crews remain on scene as of this afternoon, working to manage traffic and restore normal operations at the intersection. Officers say drivers should expect congestion and slower-than-usual travel times, especially during peak hours, as traffic backs up along St. Anne’s Road and the Perimeter.
Police are urging motorists to remain patient, follow posted directions, and proceed with caution through the intersection. Drivers are also reminded to yield appropriately at four-way stops and watch for emergency vehicles entering and exiting the scene.
The intersection of St. Anne’s Road and the Perimeter Highway is a major connector for commuters traveling between Winnipeg, the Rural Municipality of Ritchot, and surrounding southeastern Manitoba communities, making the disruption especially impactful for afternoon and early evening traffic.
No injuries or further details about the cause of the crash have been released at this time. Police have not provided an estimated timeline for when the traffic lights will be restored or when all lanes will reopen.
Motorists are encouraged to consider alternate routes if possible and to monitor official Winnipeg Police Service updates for the latest information.
