Another landslide hit Highway 97 near Summerland on Monday night, prompting a temporary road closure before reopening to single-lane, alternating traffic on Tuesday afternoon.
The landslide, which totalled around 175 cubic metres of material, is at Lakeshore Drive South.
An assessment is ongoing, but Drive BC said that the damage appears to be a continuation of the previous slide.
The first slide occurred on May 15, when one of the silt bluffs located between Summerland and Trout Creek started to crumble.
Dust and rubble covered the highway and made its way into the water below.
No vehicles were directly impacted by the falling debris, but it resulted in all four lanes of the highway being closed for several hours and work has been ongoing since.
