UPDATE: Highway 3 open to single lane alternating traffic after mudslide

(UPDATE: May 19, 2018 @ 11:20 a.m.) - Highway 3 is now open as crews work to clean up of a mudslide 30 km west of Creston. Traffic is single lane alternating, and some delays are expected as crews are still on the scene.

(Original Story: May 18, 2018)

If you happen to be travelling this way for the long weekend, take into account Highway 3 is currently closed due to a mudslide.

The mudslide has closed the highway 30 km west of Creston. Clean up is in progress, but Transportation BC is looking at an estimated opening time between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. tomorrow.

A detour is available via Highway 3A and the Kootenay Lake Ferry, with one sailing wait in both directions.
