Expect delays: Rockfall work starts on Trans-Canada Highway, lasts six weeks

You will have to wait 20 to 35 minutes, each hour.

A major highway connecting the Lower Mainland with the province will have multiple closures over six weeks as crews work to secure rockfall.

The project stems after a September 2022 Flood Falls wildfire that burned in steep terrain above the Trans-Canada Highway, causing the eastbound lanes to be closed as firefighters worked to protect the road. A significant section of the highway was closed after rockfall and debris fell onto it. To now secure the bluff, the Trans-Canada Highway will have multiple daily "short" closures in both directions near exit 160 at Hunter Creek Road during the six-week construction project.There will be work or closures on Sunday.
