Wawa-news would suspect that this is to finally fix the culverts at the Old Woman Bay Hill that has forced a westbound lane closure since April 25th. There were a number of updates from ON511 just prior to the OPP update.<\/p>\n

Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 18:55, ON511 cleared the lane closure at Old Woman Bay, “Hwy 17 reduced to one lane in the Old Woman Bay area due to a failed culvert”. The closure originally stated that this was a one lane closure, but today was updated to one lane open (7:28 a.m.).<\/p>\n

At 19:02, ON511 began Incident 004717 –\u00a0Hwy 17 closed from Heyden to Wawa due to a failed culvert, then cleared that incident at 19:13.<\/p>\n

At 19:14, ON511 began Incident #365438, Hwy 17 closed heyden to wawa for emergency road work.<\/p>\n
