The Ministry of Transportation and Transit has closed major highways between the Lower Mainland and the Interior due to flooding, falling rock and debris, and high avalanche hazards.

As of the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025, the following highways are closed:

• Highway 1 eastbound closed at Highway 9
• Highway 1 closed between Hope and Lytton
• Highway 3 closed between Hope and Princeton
• Highway 5 closed between Hope and Merritt
• Highway 7 is closed west of Hope (between Highway 9 and Ross Road)
• Highway 11 at the Sumas border crossing is closed to commercial traffic, open to local traffic only
• Highway 99 is closed between Mt. Currie and Lillooet

There is no timeline for reopening. Drivers are cautioned that other provincial roadways could be closed with little or no notice. Ministry staff and maintenance contractors continue to patrol highways to identify areas of concern. Contractors are on standby to clear debris and reopen highways as soon as it is safe to do so.

Drivers are advised to travel only if necessary. For updates, visit: https://www.drivebc.ca/
