“But until then, we don’t want to risk anybody’s safety,” said Coyne. “So we’ve gotten an evacuation alert on the houses above. And then the road is closed as well.”Along with Old Hedley Road being closed, the Brown Bridge is also closed to traffic. And with both being shut down, that’s impacting some school students whose bus routes are affected by the closures.
, School District 58 said “as a result, unless the road re-opens, busing will not be available to students attending John Allison Elementary school for the remainder of the week.”SD58 also said busing will not be available for students attending The Bridge, Vermilion Forks and Princeton Secondary. “We are sorry for the disruption and ask that families make arrangements to transport students to and from school,” said the school district. “If you are unable to arrange transportation, please contact the school and speak with the principal to discuss a possible solution.”Coyne said the bridge itself is safe right now, but he’s asking parents that if their students walk to school, please drive them or make sure they take the 5A route.
