Highway 101 Closure Due to Washout

Highway 101's closed between Wawa and Chapleau due to a washout.

While 511 only says 101's closed in both directions from the Highway 651 turnoff to Hawk Junction to Highway 129 at Chapleau due to "emergency roadwork", Superior East OPP explain it's because of a washout at Highbrush Lake, adding it's "expected to be an extended closure, lasting a few days, as crews work to repair the damage".

Pictures of the problem show the road heavily damaged on one side of the road, with cracks extending across.
