Traffic Moving Again After Rockslide Cleared From Highway 1 Near Tobiano
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUL 17 – Highway 1 near Savona is closed in both directions due to rocks and debris from a recent rockslide, with detours available on alternate highways, DriveBC reported.
- On Thursday afternoon, a slide deposited large boulders and smaller rocks onto the Trans-Canada Highway between Tobiano and Savona, resulting in a full closure of traffic in both directions.
- The slide occurred west of Kamloops, and DriveBC confirmed the closure but did not provide an estimate for reopening the highway.
- DriveBC indicated that drivers could use alternative routes including Highway 5, Highway 24, and Highway 97C, and local residents might find the access road near Savona useful as an alternate path.
- By 8:19 p.m. on Thursday, DriveBC reported that the rockslide blockage on Highway 1 in the area stretching from Tobiano to Savona had been fully cleared, allowing traffic to flow again.
- The reopening restored traffic flow on this section of the Trans-Canada Highway, easing travel west of Kamloops and ending the temporary closure caused by the slide.
