The Coquihalla Highway is closed northbound from Hope to Merritt, B.C., on Friday due to a sinkhole.
The sinkhole is located south of the Great Bear Snowshed.
The Ministry of Transportation said crews are at the scene for an assessment and urgent repairs are needed.
It is not known when the northbound road will be open but the next update is at noon.
Drivers are being detoured to Highway 1 or Highway 3 as alternative routes.
Heavy traffic in the area is expected and drivers should allow for extra time to get to their destinations.
