(Original story: Aug. 11 @ 5:10 am) – Hwy 1 is closed in both directions between Spences Bridge and Lytton due to a mudslide.
The closure is from Junction Hwy 12 and Junction Hwy 8 for 35.6 kilometres, DriveBC said late last night.
An assessment is in progress.
There is no detour available.
DriveBC said crews will perform a slope inspection “at first light.”
