The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and its maintenance contractors are preparing for freezing rain and snow through the Fraser Valley, in Metro Vancouver, along the Sea to Sky Highway, and on southern and central Vancouver Island.

The ministry is notifying drivers that the westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway will be closed, and traffic will be detoured overnight March 29 and March 30 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Installation begins this week on two variable speed limit systems for the Fraser Valley, to help reduce crashes and keep people and goods moving safely and efficiently.

People travelling near Chilliwack and Hope, along Highway 1, soon will enjoy an easier drive with 42 kilometres of resurfacing work starting next week.

Motorists are advised that Highway 1 east of Chilliwack is now fully open, in both directions, after three mudslides closed the highway Thursday morning near Bridal Falls.
