The Gogama OPP is warning area motorists to be aware of potential traffic delays during their travels on Highway 144 between Highway 560 and Highway 661 on Oct. 10, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. 

Protest activities will be occurring and may periodically delay or interrupt the normal flow of traffic in the area.

Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas questioned Premier Kathleen Wynne regarding CN cleanup of the remaining oil in the Makami River near Gogama during question period earlier this week.

The OPP’s objective is to maintain the safe flow of traffic and, when delays occur, restore traffic flow in the safest possible manner.  

The OPP is also working with those who may organize protest events to provide a safe and peaceful opportunity to exercise their lawful rights while minimizing the impact on the travelling public, where possible.

Motorists should check in advance for road advisory information and monitor local media for the latest updates. The OPP appreciates everyone’s cooperation and patience during these occurrences
