Drivers can expect delays during overnight hours on provincial highways between Prince Rupert and Chetwynd from Jan. 27 to 30, 2021.

During this time, a large commercial vehicle will be transporting oversized cargo along the route.

Drivers can expect to see intermittent delays on these route segments:

• Highway 16 from Prince Rupert to Terrace: Wednesday, Jan. 27, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• Highway 16 from Terrace to Topley: Thursday, Jan. 28, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The above schedule depends on a number of factors, including weather and road conditions.

The route is scheduled during times when traffic volumes are low for the safe and efficient transport of the cargo and to reduce traffic delays for all travellers.
