A mudslide has closed the northbound lane of a highway 93.

Highway 93 near Fairmont Hot Springs is closed in both directions as crews assess the situation.

The slide is in the same region as a massive landslide that wiped out three cabins in the hamlet of Johnson's Landing on Kootenay Lake.

Heavy rain and a late snow melt have caused havoc across the Kootenays this summer, with flooding and mudslides taking place as many rivers and lakes in the area reached a 40-year high.
