A mishap might have 498 Avenue, north of High River and West of Highway 2 closed for awhile.

A semi hauling a trailer load of large square straw bales has rolled over.

The driver's load shifted while turning causing the incident but RCMP have confirmed there was no injuries.

Clean up may take a while, so police are advising planning an alternate route for your travels this afternoon.

Traffic heading westbound is closed, while eastbound lanes are still moving, but may be backed up.

The southbound overpass ramp from Highway 2 onto 498 Ave is also closed.

Closures are expected to be in place until 5:00 p.m. but may be delayed.
