A rockslide forced the closure of Highway 7 west of Hope, B.C., on Friday.
DriveBC said the route was closed to traffic in both directions between 7 Day Adventist Youth Camp Road and Ross Road.
- 2 seriously hurt, 11 others injured in B.C. crash that shut down Highway 99
- Multi-vehicle crash including double-decker bus closes Highway 99 in Delta
- Cause of fiery Calgary bus crash that killed 3 passengers, injured 16 under investigation
- Young father killed when motorcycle crashes into Edmonton bus shelter
The Ministry of Transportation said the rockslide had caused significant pavement damage and had also downed power lines.
The slide means drivers who want to access Hope from the north side of the Fraser River will need to reroute back to Agassiz and take Highway 9 to Highway 1.
Crews were on scene assessing the damage on Friday afternoon. There was no estimated time for the route to reopen.
