Please drive with caution.

(Original Story: Feb. 28 @ 8:30 am): Residents looking to travel throughout the Interior should be aware of some road closures.

According to Drive BC, both Hwy 1 and Hwy 97 are closed in both directions. The Hwy 1 closure comes west of Revelstoke while the Hwy 97 incident is south of Williams Lake.

Hwy 1 has been closed for over an hour near the Three Valley Gap following a vehicle incident. There is no detour available and an assessment is currently in progress.
