An estimated time of reopening is not available, and a scene assessment is in progress, Drive BC reports.

On Highway 3, a washout in the eastbound lanes between Allison Pass and Manning Park Resort has traffic down to one lane. 

Meanwhile, Highway 95 has opened to single-lane, alternating traffic at the scene of a washout south of Spillimacheen, near the Alberta border and Radium Hot Springs. Expected delays up to 20 minutes.
