A mudslide has closed Soda Creek-Macalister Road near Williams Lake.

The slide and embankment failure has taken out a large section of the road, 10 kilometres from the junction of Highway 97, DriveBC reports.

The Ministry of Transportation says geotechnical engineers will assess the scene, and the route is closed in both directions.

No detour is available, and there is no estimate on when the road may reopen.
