There have been minor traffic delays at the Coldwater Hill south of Wawa on Highway 17. This is the hill just after Orphan Lake, where you have that spectacular view of Lake Superior. A culvert halfway up or down, depending on your direction of travel is being replaced. As of this morning, May 4th, the Ontario511 website is still showing the northbound lane is closed.
