Mudslides close Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt

No estimated time for reopening

The Coquihalla Highway between Merritt and Hope is closed due to at least two mudslides and it remains to be determined when it will reopen.

The highway is closed between Exit 202 and Exit 217.

The alternate route would normally be Highway 3, but that too was closed later Sunday at Sunshine Valley 17 kms east of Hope due to a landslide.

DriveBC is expected to give further updates Monday morning.
