Mudslide fully cleared

UPDATE: 7:20 p.m.

The mudslide between Castlegar and Nelson has now been completely cleared, and Highway 3A is fully reopened in both directions. 

The highway was closed early Wednesday morning by a large mudslide. 


ORIGINAL: 7:10 a.m.

DriveBC now indicates that Highway 3A between Castlegar and Nelson is now open to a single, alternating lane.

A  mudslide two kilometres east of Brilliant forced the closure and crews have been working around the clock to remove the debris and get traffic moving again between Castlegar and Nelson.
