DriveBC reports Highway 5A will likely reopen between 11 p.m. and midnight between Merritt and Kamloops.
The approximately 90-kilometre stretch of highway has been closed for six hours due to a material spill. Drivers have been asked to use the Coquihalla Highway as a detour in the meantime.
It's believed the spill is due to a semi-truck crash near Nicola Lake.
