​Highway 21, Kincardine, closed for sixth day in a row

Highway 21, from Goderich to Port Elgin, remained closed for the sixth day in a row, Saturday (Feb. 22), as crews continue to clear heavy snow drifts, due to the blowing and drifting snow that hit Monday (Feb. 17).

Most activities went on as usual in the Kincardine area. However, organizers of the Coldest Night of the Year Walk had participants walk only the two-kilometre route and eliminated the five-kilometre route, citing safety concerns.

The rest of the weekend will be cold and snowy but the temperatures are heading above zero next week, with rain in the forecast.

As of 9 p.m., Feb. 22, Highway 21 remains closed, from Goderich 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.”
