A rockslide has closed the Trans-Canada Highway near Spences Bridge, according to DriveBC.
The slide is 12 kilometres north of Spences Bridge, between Friesen Road and Venables Valley Road.
An assessment is in progress and an estimated time of reopening is not available, though there are alternate routes available via Highway 97C, Highway 99 or Highways 8 and 5.
In related news, poor visibility inside snowsheds east of Revelstoke resulted in a travel advisory being issued on Saturday for the Trans-Canada Highway.
