UPDATE: 11:50 a.m.

Highway 12 is closed in both directions near Lytton because of a rockslide.

There is no detour available.

A photo of the scene 14 kilometres from Lytton snapped by VSA Highway Maintenance shows the extent of the slide.

There is no estimated time of reopening.

Meanwhile, Highway 3 will be closed in both directions in the Kootenays later today.
