Traffic Moving On By-Pass After Being Closed all Night

Travel could be slow going this morning in the Kenora area.


Freezing rain last night created very slippery conditions on local roads,
and now blowing snow has resulted in very poor visibility.

The good news is that Highway 17-A has finally been re-opened to two-way
traffic.

The Kenora By-Pass was opened by the OPP around 5:00 this morning.

Highway 17-A had been closed around 10:00 last night, forcing drivers to
park their rigs along the side of the highway all night long.
