---|---|
Highway 1 - Kamloops to Alberta for planned closures and detours | Kamloops to Golden |
Kicking Horse Canyon for planned closures and detours | Golden to Alberta Border |
Drivers are also reminded:
Should Highway 1 or Highway 5 close in the future, Highway 8 will not be used as a detour as it is an active construction zone. Protocol to redirect traffic away from Highway 8 will prevent secondary closures and impacts on local residents.
Messaging on available detour routes will be made available via message signs, DriveBC.ca and social media.
Check DriveBC for current highway conditions and follow @DriveBC on Twitter.
There will be enhanced enforcement around cone zones for the duration of the construction. Plan for delays. Slow down. Keep your cool.
