Canada’s coast-to-coast highway remains closed across some of the prairies because of all the rain.

The Trans-Canada has been shut down since Friday of last week from Medicine Hat all the way to Maple Creek, Saskatchewan.

One report says the Saskatchewan portion of the highway might not even be partially re-opened until Friday.

Water is still on the highway in some areas and whole sections of the road have been completely washed away in Saskatchewan.
