The Trans-Canada Highway is closed east of Revelstoke due to a vehicle incident.
DriveBC is reporting that the road is closed in both directions from 40 to 70 kilometres east of Revelstoke.
The estimated time of opening is 10 p.m.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for the Trans-Canada Highway from Eagle Pass to Rogers Pass.
“Additional snowfall amounts of 10 to 25 cm are expected by Thursday morning,” says the warning.
“Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Road closures are possible. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.”
