Plans announced for occasional one lane, alternating traffic for Highway 16 east of Terrace





They’ve made some progress on the wall of mud east of Terrace and with a little luck Friday morning will see scheduled windows of opportunity to travel east and west through the gap that has been carved out.

Drive BC’s website announced at 4pm that Friday will see three opportunities through the day for motorists to make the scramble east or west. From the website, here is the 4 pm update:

Closed in both directions 37 kilometers east of Terrace because of Rock Slide.
Openings for single lane alternating traffic are planned for the following times: 7 am to 9 am, 2 pm to 3 pm, and 8 pm to 10 pm Friday June 1st.
Next update at 7 pm Thursday May 31st.
Cranberry Forest Service Road is open and available as an alternate route between Terrace and Kitwanga. It is an active single lane logging road, and is not recommended for general traffic. Updated on Thu May 31 at 4:02 pm. (ID# 47220)
