Unnecessary travel should be avoided as weather and road conditions deteriorate.

Grey County Ontario Provincial Police and Bruce Peninsula OPP urge motorists to avoid any unnecessary travel as the weather and road conditions begin to deteriorate throughout the area.

Currently, the following roads are closed due to high winds and blowing snow causing poor visibility and driving conditions:

- Highway 6 from Bruce Road 9 to Tobermory, Bruce Peninsula

- Grey Road 7 from Meaford to Grey Road 13, Grey County

Police are beginning to receive reports of vehicle collisions. Motorists are urged to avoid any unnecessary travel until the weather and road conditions improve.

Driving on a closed road is not only illegal; it's dangerous. Doing so not only puts you and your passengers at risk - it puts police and all Emergency Responders at risk who come to the aid of motorists having driven on a closed road.

If the weather is uncertain, check the forecast before heading out and monitor the media outlets for any updates, including road closures.
