Highway Hotline has deemed numerous highways across the province as unfit for travel following continued freezing rain and drifting snow.

Impacted roadways include Highway 29 from Wilkie to Battleford, Highways 301 and 363 out of Moose Jaw, Highway 1 from Swift Current through Gull Lake, Highways 19 and 363 out of Hodgeville, Highways 2 and 18 near the United States border, and Highway 13 between Horizon and Pangman.

At 12:47 p.m. yesterday, Saskatchewan RCMP responded to several semis blocking lanes of Highway 1 due to icy conditions. Police also responded a report of a semi blocking a northbound lane on Highway #11 near Kenaston. Following the clearage of those vehicles, it happened again at 4:38 p.m., as both eastbound lanes of Highway #1 east of Webb were blocked by a semi.

By 5:53 the scene was cleared, however the snowy and icy road conditions remain. Motorists are asked to continue to use caution on the roadways and to check conditions before traveling.
