As of noon on January 24, 2022, all vehicle traffic will be allowed on Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon. The highway will be open to legal width and weight loading. However, loads will be limited to 25 metres in length until the rehabilitation of the highway bridge at Nicomen River is complete.
Drivers travelling the highway through this stretch should plan for delays of up to two hours or more as there are ongoing repairs and an at-grade train crossing. There are also sections of single-lane alternating traffic, which includes a temporary single-lane bridge at Jackass Mountain and Nicomen River crossing.
The avalanche risk in the Fraser Canyon is also high this year. Drivers can expect closures on short notice for avalanche control and cleanup. Plan accordingly, and carry essential supplies such as warm clothes, food and water, and a full tank of gas. For the most up-to-date information before travelling, visit DriveBC.ca.
