Editor's note: The highway has reopened in both directions.
The snowstorm hitting Northern Ontario has closed a section of Highway 11.
The highway is closed between Cedar Heights Road in North Bay and Highway 66 in Kenogami, according to 511.
From Holtyre to Cochrane, the travel information site shows that Highway 11 is partly snow-covered and there is reduced visibility.
The winter weather advisory for Timmins, Cochrane and Iroquois Falls remains in effect.
Heaving snowfall with accumulations of seven to 15 centimetres is expected, along with strong wind gusts that Environment Canada says will result in significantly reduced visibility.
"Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop," reads the advisory.
Road conditions are available here.
