The road is expected to re-open sometime between 5 and 8 pm. DriveBC plans to provide an update on the situation around 4:30 pm.
Southbound, it does look like Highway 97 has re-opened following Thursday evening’s fatal collision, which took out some powerlines.
OPEN – #BCHwy97 20km N of #ClintonBC after earlier hydro lines down.
