All area highways affected by the weather or motor vehicle collisions have re-opened. The closures started on Highway 69 by Point Au Baril when an accident closed the highway around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.   Fortunately the highway re-opened less than two hours later. But closures caused by the weather were much longer. At 1:00 p.m. OPP closed Highway 17 from Batchewana to Wawa for the third time this week. It only re-opened at 4:30 Friday. And Highway 101 from Wawa to Chapleau was closed for five hours Thursday because of snow. It opened up again at around 9:30 Thursday night.
