At last word a secondary highway in the Sault Ste. Marie area was still down to one lane. Highway 550 in Prince Township was cut to one lane because of a washout on Friday. It’s not known when the roadway can re-open because of fears it could get washed away. The Sault region is expecting rain for the first half of the week and snow later in the week. There are no detours to get around Highway 550.
