With at least 10 major thoroughfares closed in Springwater Township, crews have been working non-stop to clear miles of snow from its roads.

Stranded cars and trucks were left abandoned during the worst of last weekend’s historic snowfall.

After a week’s worth of snow piled up, township staff had closed roads due to near zero visibility when the winds picked up and created dangerous whiteout conditions.

During the last several days, Springwater plows have pushed through the frigid onslaught in an effort to open up its roads.

The following roads opened Thursday:

> Flos Road 8 West from County Road 27 to Vigo Road

> Flos Road 10 West at Yonge Street North to Vigo Road

> Flos Road 11 West from County Road 27 to Township Boundary

But Tiny Township Flos Townline and Ushers Road F-los Road 7 West to Flos Road 10 West remain closed as of Friday.

Anyone who thinks their vehicle may have been towed out of the way of road crews can contact the OPP non-emergent line at 1-888-310-1122 for information.
