SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. — A section of the Trans-Canada Highway north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., that was closed due to a washout has been partially reopened.
The northbound lane was opened to alternating traffic on Monday and provincial police are warning motorists to expect delays.
Officials say the southbound lane remains closed.
OPP say the washout affected the highway in the area of Alona Bay, about 100 kilometres north of Sault Ste. Marie.
On Sunday, the highway was closed in both directions between Wawa, Ont., and Batchawana Bay, Ont. — a 160-kilometre stretch of road.
Police say heavy rain in the area caused the washout.
