Accident and poor weather conditions the cause
The Independent
Road conditions are poor in Eastern and Northern Lambton tonight.
An accident involving two transports near Nauvoo Road around 3:30pm initially closed the road at the Nauvoo Road exit. But around 7:30 pm, Lambton OPP closed the entire road between Oil Heritage Road and Kerwood Road because of poor road conditions.
Police say the highway is anticipated to remain closed for the several hours to allow for the safe removal of vehicles and to ensure the roadway is safe for travel.
Motorists are urged to avoid the area and delay non-essential travel until conditions improve. If travel is necessary, please drive according to the weather and road conditions.
The closure also created backups on London Line. Traffic was being rerouted off the 402 to London Line, however road construction in Warwick Village brought traffic to a stand still. At 7 pm, traffic was backed almost to Forest Line because of the road work.
Heavy snow coming in on streamers off Lake Huron made visibility difficult across parts of the county. The snow was several inches deep on some roadways around Watford.
Aside from the 402 closure, Nauvoo Road was closed between Rokeby and Petrolia Line after an accident around 5:30 pm. It has since reopened.
On Confederation Line between Watford and Kerwood, several vehicles had hit the ditch including one which had rolled onto its roof.
