Highway 20 still closed after oil spill in January

Police have confirmed that Highway 39 has now reopened after a spill in January, but Highway 20 is still closed.

A truck carrying vacuum gas oil spilled its load over 38 kilometres between Highway 39 and Highway 20 on Jan. 25.

One lane of Highway 39 had previously been open to traffic, but RCMP say that crews are having a hard time cleaning up the spilled substance on Highway 20.

The 55-year-old truck driver from Rocky Mountain House was ticketed due to the spill.
