However, DriveBC warned drivers to expect “MAJOR delays in both directions” due to congestion.
Highway 1 remains closed in both directions between Lytton and Hope due to firefighting efforts, likely compounding delays from the Coquihalla closure.
Drivers were being advised to detour via Highway 5A and Highway 3.
