A landslide closed traffic today on the same highway near Agassiz, B.C., where motorists were trapped between slides caused by major rainstorms last month.
DriveBC says the road has been reopened to single-lane alternating traffic on Highway 7 near Maria Sough Bridge and crews were assessing the damage.
The incident occurred as southern and coastal British Columbia entered the tail end of severe weather that meteorologists have described as a ``parade'' of storms.
More than two dozen weather warnings remain in effect across southern and coastal British Columbia, complicating clean-up efforts from previous flooding and mudslides.
Evacuation orders have been issued by the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District for properties near the community of Birken due to a landslide hazard at Neff Creek.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says the province is doing everything it can to make sure people and communities have the resources and support they need.
