A serious incident has resulted in the closure of a portion of Portage Avenue, according to the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS).
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, causing the closure of Portage Avenue between Sherbrook Street and Maryland Street. The WPS has not released any details about the nature of the incident, but they have confirmed that it is being investigated by their Major Crimes Unit.
The closure of this busy stretch of Portage Avenue has caused significant traffic disruptions in the area. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and find alternate routes until the road is reopened.
The WPS has also asked for the public’s cooperation in their investigation. They are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact the Major Crimes Unit at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
At this time, it is unclear how long the closure will last. The WPS has not provided an estimated time for when the road will be reopened.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we urge the public to exercise caution and patience while the WPS conducts their investigation.
