The Ministry of Transportation said the rockslide had caused significant pavement damage and had also downed power lines.
The slide means drivers who want to access Hope from the north side of the Fraser River will need to reroute back to Agassiz and take Highway 9 to Highway 1.
Crews were on scene assessing the damage on Friday afternoon. There was no estimated time for the route to reopen.
