KAMLOOPS — A rockslide has traffic at a standstill six kilometres east of Spences Bridge.

For eastbound traffic there’s a detour available via Highway 12 in Lytton to Highway 99 north to Highway 97 or Highway 8 to Highway 97C to Ashcroft or Highway 5 to Kamloops.

Westbound traffic can detour via Highway 1 to Kamloops then Highway 5 or Highway 99 to Highway 5 to Lytton then to Highway 1. 

A photo from B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure shows the slide struck a truck but the ministry says the driver is okay.
