Highway 3, or the Crowsnest Highway, closed in both directions Friday because of "multiple vehicle incidents." In a morning update, B.C.'s transportation minister said there was a particularly serious crash near Princeton.
"This is a reminder to all drivers to please slow down, to be attentive, to be patient," Rob Fleming said. "Crews are continuing to repair and upgrade corridors and conditions are far from normal."
The transportation ministry says it estimates the road will reopen at 11:30 p.m. Friday and there is no detour available. The Coquihalla Highway remains closed.
The closure came a week after the route to the Interior reopened. Only essential travel is permitted along the corridor to allow commercial drivers and people returning home through.
