The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is advising the community the underpass on Wellington Street West is currently reduced to one lane due to two commercial motor vehicles becoming stuck in the snow.
Officers with Traffic Services are on scene assisting with traffic control, a news release said.
Community members who must travel in the area are encouraged to take alternate routes.
If you are unable to stay home today, please keep the following safety tips in mind before driving:
- Slow down
- Brush/scrape your vehicle off completely (snow falling off your vehicle can impact your - and other drivers' - ability to see)
- Warm up your car, scrape and defog your windows
- Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one ahead of you
- Start braking sooner than you think you'll have to in case your vehicle slides
- Leave earlier than you think you'll have to so you don't feel the need to speed
- Do not use cruise control
