The Trans-Canada Highway has reopened in the eastern Fraser Valley after a landslide closed it earlier Friday, but a closure near Golden remains in effect.
The Trans-Canada Highway has reopened in the eastern Fraser Valley after a landslide closed it earlier Friday.

The thoroughfare had been closed at the junction with Highway 9 due to debris on the road that had tumbled down the mountainside. 

However, the Trans-Canada remains closed in both directions east of Golden due to the high avalanche hazard and transportation officials say it won't reopen until Saturday morning at 8 a.m. MT at the earliest.

Elsewhere many highways in central and northern bc have poor visibility due to blowing snow, according to the DriveBC website.
