Police have taken the unusual step of warning drivers to steer clear of bridges across Winnipeg as icy conditions lead to a spate of crashes. Winnipeg's Traffic Management Centre also reported crashes on the St. James Bridge, and on the Chief Peguis Bridge eastbound. (Twitter/sweetmariecc)Some of the closed bridges were slowly starting to reopen around 9 p.m. CT, and City of Winnipeg sanding trucks were sent out. Kathy Kuzak was left sitting on the Chief Peguis Bridge for more than an hour-and-a-half while crews cleaned up the crash on the bridge. #Winnipeg — @cityofwinnipegTRAFFIC ALERT - EB on CHIEF PEGUIS Bridge, Multiple vehicle collision blocking all EB lanes#traffic #winnipeg #WpgTMC — @WinnipegTMC
