Snow squalls cause closure of Highways 9 and 21 in Kincardine area

Heavy snow and high wind have caused the closure of Highways 21 and 9 in the Kincardine area, today (Jan. 20).

The South Bruce OPP reported that as of 10:56 a.m., Highway 21 was closed, from Amberley to Kincardine, due to blowing and drifting snow and poor-to-nil visibility.

Ten minutes later, at 11:12 a.m., police reported that Highway 9 was closed, from Kincardine to Walkerton, due to the poor weather and driving conditions.

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.”
