Anybody try to go to Shilo this am around 5 am turning left off of Victoria Ave. east. Why would anybody try coming down the 110 transporting a house with the road construction on the south side of the bridge.Police were there had the highway closed.

Do you have a different route they could have taken? Like maybe through Brandon???  
 
I'm sure when transporting large items they're route has to be approved by the highways department. Even with construction that was probably still the best route and maybe to minimize disruption in that area it was done at that hour of the morning.

Sounds like everything was done by the books. Police had the highway closed and they picked a route and time that would cause as little disruption as possible.

Sounds right. Manitoba permits dictates which roads you will be taking when pulling a transport permit. It was done at 5am with the least amount of traffic going on. Since it was over 15' wide it would have needed to be escorted. Was there miles of traffic backed up? Would it have been better to do it at 8am?  
 
This reminds me of yesterday at Sobeys at 5:30. The guy behind me was bitching that there was only two tills open. I looked around....yes two tills plus 3 express tills which we were standing at. I think it was less than 2 minutes he was at a till. Amazes me how impatient some people can get.
