Update: 7:46 a.m.
There have been two roadblocks set up. The first is beside the Co-op Cardlock just west of Swift Current. Traffic is being directed to side-roads where they are eventually able to make their way further west, where another roadblock at the weigh-station has been established. So far, no traffic has been seen heading west from there.
Eastbound traffic is still unimpeded, but all westbound traffic is halted due to a hazard in the area.
