Highway 12 open to single lane traffic

LYTTON – Highway 12 between Hope and Lillooet has reopened to single lane alternating traffic after it was closed following a rock slide earlier this week.

A rock slide closed the highway about 14 kilometres north of Lytton on Monday, Feb. 20.

Drive B.C. says you can expect 30 minute delays today, Feb. 23, until 5 p.m. as the slide clean up continues.
