Motorists travelling between Kelowna and Penticton should expect temporary delays for the next four days.
From Friday to Monday, the troubled section of Highway 97 near Summerland will undergo more rock blasting closures, with traffic stoppages occurring regularly from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
AIMRoads, the highway contractor, says motorists should expect additional 15-minute closures outside that scheduled time.
