Avalanche control will take place from West Boundary of Glacier National Park to East Boundary of Glacier National Park. The work will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and motorists can expect up to two hour delays as a result.
A travel advisory was put into place by DriveBC along the same stretch of highway on Thursday as mild temperatures and a mix of snow and rain had crews worried about the potential for an avalanche. A moderate amount of precipitation is expected to fall along the highway between Sicamous and the Alberta border.
