A section of Highway 97 in the South Okanagan will be temporarily closed on Friday afternoon.
DriveBC is reporting that blasting work will take place between Peachland and Summerland from 1 to 2 p.m.
The highway will be closed in both directions between Bridgeman Road and Beach Road, a distance of 4.5 kilometres, during that time span.
In February of 2019, landslides closed down the highway, with massive rocks covering the road and cutting the route in two.

Long detours were used until highway crews built a shorter, 900-metre route using nearby Callan Road.
Eventually, the mess was cleared and the highway was reopened, though the hilly area has undergone a geotechnical review and blasting since then.
