Landslide closes Highway 1 from Revelstoke to Golden in B.C. Interior

May 29, 2026 | 9:00 AM

REVELSTOKE — A landslide has shut down Highway 1 in the British Columbia Interior.

The provincial Ministry of Transportation’s DriveBC information site says the route has been closed since about 8 p.m. Thursday between Revelstoke and Golden.

The closure is due to a landslide west of Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk in Mount Revelstoke National Park, just east of Revelstoke.

DriveBC says no detour is available.

That section of Highway 1 is among a number of roads affected by wet conditions in the Interior, with water pooling between Kamloops and Sicamous, Highway 97A north of Vernon and Highway 97 from Lake Country to Kamloops.
