Some concerned parents were blaming construction for heavier-than-usual traffic on the first day of school in Transcona on Wednesday.
Drivers being re-routed due to the Plessis Underpass Project are increasing traffic near Bernie Wolfe Community School on Bournais Drive, they said
“When it’s done, it will be great,” said parent Charlene Chiborak, "But in the meantime, it’s going to be very busy in this area.”
Plessis Road will be closed between Dugald Road and Kernaghan Avenue until December 2014. More information on the project is available on the city’s website.
