Avalanche control closures and a strange travel advisory on Interior highways

Dec 18, 2019 | 6:08 AM

KAMLOOPS — Avalanche control work will result in a pair of closures on the Trans Canada Highway in the Interior Wednesday morning (Dec. 18).

The first closure is scheduled for an area west of Revelstoke near Craigellachie between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.

The second closure is slated for an area just east of Revelstoke between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Meantime, the province issued a travel advisory for the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt overnight — but not due to weather or road conditions.

According to Drive BC, the power went out on that route last night.

That meant restrooms were without power and had to be closed. Thus, the travel advisory.

Drive BC pledges to update the situation this morning.
