​Highway 21 closed, Amberley to Port Elgin, Friday evening

Heavy snow and high wind are playing havoc with motorists, Friday evening, as Highway 21 is now closed, from Amberley to Kincardine, due to blowing and drifting snow and poor-to-no visibility.

Initially, the South Bruce OPP reported the highway closed, from Kincardine to Port Elgin, Jan. 30, at 4:30 p.m., due to the poor driving conditions. Fifteen minutes later, the highway was closed from Amberley to Port Elgin.

For those who decide to travel, keep your headlights and tail-lights on and clear of snow and do not drive on a closed road.

Remember to keep your speed down. “If you see snow, go slow.”
