Mounties are telling motorists to stay off Highway 2 from Airdrie to Red Deer because of icy road conditions that have led to multiple collisions.
RCMP said in a release at 10:15 a.m. that there is a towing advisory for the area.
"Tow trucks cannot come to the area so please do not call them," RCMP said.
Conditions are particularly bad from Olds to Didsbury.
"Traffic cannot proceed through this area. Please stay off the highway," the release said.
Environment and Climate Change Canada has a fog advisory in place for a swath of the province from north of High River to about Crossfield.
