A stretch of Highway 11 is closed due to the weather conditions. 

OPP said around 11:30 a.m. that the highway is closed between Hearst and Longlac.

A freezing rain warning is currently in effect for Kapuskasing and Hearst. 

The Environment Canada warning says there could be two to four millimetres of freezing rain, which is expected to end this afternoon and change into rain.

"Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery," reads the advisory.

"Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions."
