OPPOPP have opened up the eastbound lane of Highway 17 between Marathon and Terrace Bay as of 10:30 this morning.  A serious accident had forced a complete closure after 9 o’clock.   There is no detour … there is an alternate route you can take out of White River via 631 to Highway 11 and then onto Nipigon and points west … it will add a couple hours to your driving time to Thunder Bay.
