Dozens of road trips and material collisions were recorded by the Sûreté du Québec, but nothing major was reported.
Sleet, ice and rain fell during the day, making the streets slippery for both pedestrians and motorists.
Several Ministry of Transport (MTQ) traffic cameras are completely frozen.
The North Shore of the St. Lawrence River, from Abitibi to Saguenay, was particularly affected by the weather cocktail.
Route 117, which crosses La Vérendrye Park in Abitibi, is also closed to traffic between Louvicourt and Grands-Remous until at least 6 a.m. Wednesday morning, the MTQ announced.
