Highway 71 Re-opened

Highway 71 from the Highway 17 junction to Sioux Narrows was re-opened early this afternoon.

The highway had been closed due to slippery road conditions and 2 tractor trailer units getting stuck.

The semi trailers have since been cleared.

However O.P.P are advising against travelling on area highways as a winter storm rolls into the area bringing heavy snow, ice pellets, and freezing rain.
