Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, indeed, the road was muddy over the last several days, and particularly the last week, because of the snow and rain we have been having on the highway, and that section, that the Member so accurately describes is, indeed, a problem area, Mr. Speaker.
It is subject to reconstruction in the next couple of years. It is the area that I think is referred to as Birch Lake/Birch Creek. It floods annually because of its low nature. It has two large eskers on either end of it, it is a natural flow-way for water, and it has been a problem as a tremendous amount of reconstruction has to take place in there.
In the meantime, I think in the past year, a lot of fill has been put in there to try and stabilize it, and indeed, at one point dikes had been built to keep the water from flowing across the road. This is, perhaps, what the Member is referring to.
We will ensure that as soon as the road is dry enough, we will have the graders in there to prepare as best we can for winter, before it freezes.
