B.C. highways: These roads are closed due to risk of flooding, debris

B.C. highways: These roads are closed due to risk of flooding, debris

With southern B.C. bracing for the third in a trio of atmospheric rivers, uncertain conditions on local highways have led to more closures and warnings for drivers.

With southern B.C. bracing for the third in a trio of atmospheric rivers, uncertain conditions on local highways have led to more closures and warnings for drivers.

Even though some highway stretches briefly reopened to essential travel, many were closed again over the weekend as a pre-emptive measure or because of increased flooding.

The initial closures came following an intense storm two weeks ago that sent mud, rocks and trees into roadways. Those slides killed at least four people near Lillooet, with one person still missing. Hundreds more were stranded in their vehicles in various locations.

On Saturday, parts of Highways 1, 3 and 99 were all closed as a precaution as the province braced for another storm. While there weren't major slides or washouts reported over the weekend, Transportation Minister Rob Fleming said each of those routes was impacted by the weather.

"Cleanup is underway," Fleming said at a Sunday morning update. "We have geotechnical engineers that are currently assessing when they can reopen."

The transportation ministry said it does not have an update for when those highways will reopen.

As well, Highway 1 between Exit 90 (McCallum Road) and Exit 109 (Yale Road in Chilliwack) was closed on Sunday because of "the threat of flooding." An update on the highway is expected Monday morning.
