It appears motorists travelling along PR 201 near Letellier will have to continue to detour around the bridge construction on that roadway for the better part of this year.

Manitoba Infrastructure began work on replacing the bridge over the Aux Marais River last year, forcing traffic to detour along  Municipal Road 8E and Road 8N between PR 201 and Highway 75.

The bridge is located about half a mile east of Letellier and is being upgraded to RTAC standards to support heavy truck traffic.

Construction on the project is scheduled to be completed in September 2020.
