Multiple highways in the province are closed on Thursday thanks to a variety of driving conditions.

According to DriveBC, Highway 3 is closed in both directions, 30 kilometres west of Kootnay Pass, until 8 a.m. for avalanche control. A two and a half hour detour is in use.

A travel advisory is also in place due to freezing rain.

A crash near Fernie has reduced Highway 3 to a single lane for the time being.

Highway 97 will be closed in both directions over 40 km north of the junction with Highway 39 for highway control between 1 and 2 p.m.

In the Okanagan, highways are slushy and slippery. There is limited visibility due to dense fog on the Okanagan Connector.
