Highway 1 is a parking lot with tractor trailers waiting for the Trans Canada to re-open.
The highway is closed in both directions from Revelstoke to Golden because of a high avalanche hazard.
Highway 1 was also closed eastbound from Sicamous to Revelstoke. It reopened around 1:00 p.m.
The Revelstoke portion of the highway is now expected to reopen between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Highway one is also closed in both directions from Field to the Alberta border.
DriveBC says a winter storm warning issued by Environment Canada forecasts snowfall amounts of 30 to 50 centimetres.
Highway closures for avalanche control are expected west of Revelstoke, Glacier National Park, and Kicking Horse Canyon.
Non-essential travel is not recommended during the storm.
