Highway 17 between Dryden to Ignace is open, but the Ministry of Transportation says Ignace to Shabaqua Corners is open again.

The Trans-Canada Highway was reopened east of Dryden just before 5:00 this morning.

The Ministry of Transportation says the closure is weather-related.

In the meantime, Highway 622 from Atikokan to Highway 17 is still listed as closed.
