Speaking to Rainy River district municipal leaders gathered in Atikokan on the weekend, Regional Manager Ian Smith says the highway has always been identified as a Class 5 highway, but could be bumped up to Class 4.
Smith says it would cost the province about half-a-million dollars to make the change.
Smith says the contractor responsible for snow plowing on the road has been hit with fines for not properly maintaining the road, but believes plowing done by the previous firm was done at a greater level than was expected.
