A rockslide in Fraser Canyon closed a section of Highway 1 on Sunday night.

No one was injured due to the slide, but some vehicles were damaged as a result.

The rockslide took place about one kilometre north of Yale.

“The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure's geotechnical team has identified a number of rocks that are loose and may come down at any time,” said the BC Ministry of Transportation’s Instagram account.

DriveBC said an alternate route is available by Highway 5 and Highway 8.

Rock scaling is now required before Emil Anderson Maintenance crews and heavy equipment can clear the debris from the highway.

It is not clear when the highway will reopen.
