Alright, so help me out here because I suck at directions and stuff…
How far out is closed? Is getting to Ridley and Port Ed still possible???
it would be closed from the Port Ed turnoff to Terrace there is a gate past the turnoff that they lower when highway is closed
so, listening to police scanner, and P.G RCMP dont know that it is closed. so they are letting people threw!!! I know it is not bad from hear to summit, but after summit it is hell on wheels. :S
You could try drive bc www.drivebc.ca I think. It was working on and off today but the ministry keeps it fairly up to date on road conditions.
Ya, The site was updated when the van accident happened, and that’s when they shut the highway down.
