A flood of spring runoff created by rapidly rising temperatures tore up a section of Highway 8 north of Kamsack, Sask. Doug Wakabayashi from the Ministry of Highways says warm weather after a cold start to spring is creating problems on some Saskatchewan highways. He said the rift in the road near Kamsack, about 230 kilometres northeast of Regina, was caused by culvert failure. The department will also likely assess the need for a larger culvert at the Highway 8 site, Wakabayashi said. "Because the weather in the spring is so cold we're seeing a really fast melt right now," he said .
