East Algoma OPP is asking the public to avoid any unnecessary travel at this time as emergency crews, plow operators, tow operators, and officers continue working to clear the roads.

If you must travel, please drive with extreme caution:
Slow down and adjust your speed to the road conditions Leave extra space between vehicles Watch for emergency lights and move over when safe to do so Keep a safe distance from tow trucks and roadside workers Ensure your vehicle is properly equipped for winter conditionsMotorists are reminded that roads may remain slippery, visibility may change quickly, and conditions can deteriorate without warning.
Please stay home if possible and allow crews the space they need to safely restore roadways.
