There were multiple closures along Highway 17 Tuesday as winter weather created dangerous driving conditions across northwestern Ontario.
Earlier in the day, several collisions east of Ignace forced partial closures along the Trans-Canada Highway, with one lane reopening later in the afternoon.
Conditions worsened into the evening.
Ontario Provincial Police say a stretch of Highway 17 between Marathon and Terrace Bay was closed around 11:15 p.m. due to severe weather and deteriorating road conditions.
Drivers were told to avoid travel and follow all posted closures.
That section of highway has since reopened.
Police say the road reopened around 12:30 a.m., thanking drivers for their patience and cooperation.
Road conditions in the region were described as snowy and slippery throughout the day.
