Section of Saskatchewan Drive closed after piece of SaskTel sign falls from building

A portion of Saskatchewan Drive was closed after a piece of a sign fell from the SaskTel building in downtown Regina.

Part of the "K" from the SaskTel sign atop the building broke off late Wednesday afternoon.

Both lanes of Saskatchewan Drive were closed to traffic between Hamilton Street and Smith Street while crews dealt with the situation.

It wasn’t clear where the broken piece landed or what caused the damage, but strong wind gusts exceeding 60 kilometres an hour may have been a factor.
