A section of the Trans-Canada Highway in B.C.’s Southern Interior has been reopened to traffic.
Initially, the highway was closed between Revelstoke and Golden on Tuesday afternoon, around 3 p.m., when planned control work resulted in an avalanche coming down and blocking the road.
The avalanche was cleared just after midnight, but planned rock scaling saw a large section of the highway closed again early Wednesday.
