Whiteout conditions close portion of US-2

ST. IGNACE, MI--   The Michigan Department of Transportation has closed a portion of US-2 in Mackinac County.  

Officials say the stretch from I-75 in St. Ignace to M-77 was closed around 10 a.m. Friday.  The highway was experiencing high winds, heavy snow and whiteout conditions. 

Road crews have been pulled off US-2 as visibility is very poor and they are unable to keep up with blowing snow. 

Westbound traffic on US-2 is being detoured on I-75 to M-123 to M-28 to M-77.  Eastbound traffic is being detoured along the same route in reverse. 

Public Radio 90 will provide updates as they become available.
