Highway 17 from Wawa to Batchawana has been closed due to a collision in the Mamainse area.
Just prior to the closure notification, Northeast OPP has tweeted, “Another winter storm has arrived; not a good day to be travelling in NER. Both the Hwy 17 and Hwy 11 corridors will face some challenging weather conditions so consider cancelling or postponing travel today.”
Editor’s Note – it is an offence under the Highway Traffic Act to drive on a closed highway. The total payable fine for driving on a closed highway is $110 and upon conviction, three demerit points will be added to your driving record. Also, some insurance companies may not cover you if you are involved in a collision while travelling on a closed highway.
