A section of Highway 17 through northwestern Ontario has reopened following an earlier closure.

The highway was shut down between Highway 71 and Vermilion Bay at around 2 a.m. CT on Monday.

Officials with the Ministry of Transportation said the closure was due to poor road and weather conditions.

There was also a jackknifed transport truck reported at distance marker 126.

The closed section of highway reopened to vehicles just before 6 a.m. CT.
