KAMLOOPS — Kamloops residents are asked to avoid travel plans until current snowy conditions improve.
In a news release Sunday (Nov. 6) evening, Kamloops RCMP say road conditions in Kamloops are “treacherous.” This comes as Highway 1 was briefly closed overnight from Sunday at around 11:30 p.m. to around 1:40 a.m. Monday (Nov. 7) due to multiple semi-trucks being stuck between Summit Drive and Highway 5A.
School District 73 says all bus routes are cancelled Monday due to the unsafe road conditions.
A snowfall warning from Environment Canada remains in effect for the South Thompson and Nicola regions Monday morning. The weather agency says snow is expected to ease in the afternoon.
Highway alerts for the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops and the Okanagan Connector from Merritt to Kelowna remain in effect.
