Highway 101 Still Closed From 651 to 129 After Culvert Collapse

Highway 101 remains closed between Wawa and Chapleau after a culvert collapse.

While 101 closed between Highway 651 - the Missinabie turnoff - and Highway 129 - at Chapleau - shortly before 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Ontario's Ministry of Transportation says work to repair the culvert damaged by the washout at Highbrush Lake began Wednesday, though it has not given a completion timeline for the emergency roadwork.

Superior East OPP suggested Tuesday night that the closure could last "a few days".
