RCMP said the highway was closed as a result of debris spread across the road.

In an update given around 2 p.m. RCMP said that one lane is open in both directions — but traffic is moving “extremely slow.”
RCMP anticipates several more hours until the highway will be re-opened entirely.
Motorists are still being asked to avoid the area as RCMP conduct their investigation.
