Last updated on July 29, 2025

Jumping Creek to Jack MacDonald Snowshed

The project involves the design and construction of improvements to 2.6 km of the Trans-Canada Highway 1 approximately 40 kilometres east of Revelstoke, including rockfall and avalanche mitigation, climate change resiliency and median divider and roadside barrier. 

The project is adjacent to the recently completed Illecillewaet and extends to the western end of the MacDonald Snowshed.  

Notice of work

Notification of project-related fieldwork or construction is posted on this page in advance. For the latest information on road conditions, please visit DriveBC.

July 27 to August 16, 2025

Please see the three week look ahead below for details. The planned construction schedule is displayed one week at a time; scroll down to see upcoming weeks.

Starting August 5, 2025 the 2-hour closure window is shifting. Closures will now take place from 3:30am to 5:30am Tuesdays to Saturdays, and 12:30am to 2:30am on Sundays.

Operations are being shifted to cooler times of the day to ensure safety during fire season and to accommodate higher traffic volumes.

All closures are tentative. If the closure does not occur, expect short duration stoppages to facilitate equipment crossings. 30 minute closures or single lane alternating traffic may be performed alternatively

SLAT Closures up to 30 minutes or SLAT (single-lane-alternating traffic - all traffic permitted)
