Highways in the Estevan are closed due to icy conditions.

ESTEVAN - All highways in the southeast region are open once again, according to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure's Highway Hotline.

The highways were shut down at 7:10 a.m., after a system bringing freeing rain struck the Estevan area. Snow and high winds also caused problems. 

A couple of highways reopened at 12:05 p.m., and the rest were listed as reopened at 12:35 p.m.

The highways are classified as "winter conditions exist," as they have "icy and slippery sections" and are "wet subject to freezing." 

Portions of Highways 9, 18, 39, 47 and 361 were closed due to the storm. Also closed was the truck bypass north of Estevan.

The City of Estevan asked motorists to exercise caution when driving around the community.
