Not even the roads are immune to the heat in Manitoba.
Manitoba Infrastructure said Monday that the northbound to eastbound off-ramp from Highway 7 to the Perimeter was closed Sunday night due to damage from heat.
A highway update went out at 10:40 a.m. Monday saying the off-ramp was closed due to highway buckling.
According to Environment Canada, at that time the temperature felt like 38 degrees Celsius with the humidex factored in.
Manitoba Infrastructure said two of the concrete panels expanded and locked in a tented position.
The off-ramp is closed to all traffic and all vehicles are being rerouted around the overpass using the three other unaffected loops.
Crews are on site working to fix the issue and the road is expected to re-open Monday evening.
A spokesperson for the city said there are three other locations in Winnipeg where crews will be making repairs due to heat damage.
