Around 2 p.m. Sunday, DriveBC reported that Highway 3A is closed in both directions between Main Street and Stagecoach Road for six kilometres, due to a mudslide.

A Geo-technical assessment is in progress.

In the meantime, a detour is available through Highway 97 to Osoyoos, then north on Highway 3A.

This mudslide comes a week after a similar incident in Summerland, which reduced Highway 97 down to single lane alternating traffic until further notice.
