“The highway will be closed to all traffic during these times and will be opened as soon as the work and safety assessments are completed,” reads a Facebook post from AIMRoads.

Closures are planned to take place throughout the winter as work continues to stabilize the area after a rockslide in August.

Up-to-date highway conditions can be found online at this link.

Drivers are urged to check the road’s conditions before departing for their travels.
