The Transportation Ministry says a five-kilometre section of Highway 1 in southeastern BC will be closed for nearly a month as upgrades are underway along the route through the Kicking Horse Canyon.
Starting in two weeks and continuing until May 20th, the ministry says all through traffic on Highway 1 from Golden to Castle Junction will be detoured via Radium Hot Springs, adding about 90 minutes of travel time.
It says the complete closure will allow crews to leave heavy equipment on the roadway and minimize travel disruptions during the peak summer season.
A statement from the ministry says limited local and commuter traffic with prearranged permits, plus school buses and emergency vehicles in response mode, won't have to make the lengthy detour.
