Road Conditions Slowly Improving

Roads in the Kenora area are open this morning.

Yesterday, Highway 17 between Kenora and Vermillion Bay was closed for about eight hours, causing a back log of traffic.

Highway 502 between Dryden and Fort Frances was also closed for several hours last night.

Both both cases, jack-knifed transports were blocking the highway.

The 502 was finally re-opened around 4:00 this morning.

The Kenora area saw about 20 centimeters of snow on Sunday.

Due to the road condition though, all school buses in the Kenora area have been cancelled today.
