Part of a retaining wall installed to prevent erosion on Highway 97 at Antlers Beach in Peachland has collapsed, exposing the highway to heavy waves which are now eroding part of the road.
The northbound lane is filled with debris.
Heavy wave action is also eroding the banks along Highway 97 south of Peachland.
The bladder dams installed along the shores of Peachland have also given way to heavy wave action.
Winds are blowing in excess of 50 km/h pounding the bladder dams, collapsing them.
Officials are at the scene.
They say they will be bringing in large rocks immediately to prevent further erosion.
Both lanes of the highway remain open but that could change at any time. Motorist can expect delays.
