Fire officials from neighbouring municipalities have been working towards an interim solution, solidifying plans should an emergency happen before the road is repaired.
Since the road falls under provincial jurisdiction, repairs will be left to the province to coordinate.
In an email to CTV News on Tuesday, the Ministry of Transportation noted that crews were on site and working to repair the highway.
The ministry anticipates the repair work to be completed in about two to three days.
