Highway 1 remains closed by the Bruhn Bridge in Sicamous due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Highway 1 remains closed at the Bruhn Bridge in Sicamous with no estimated opening time available. 

The road closed on Thursday, April 10 due to a reported landslide, though a DriveBC post lists construction work as the reason for the extended closure. The District of Sicamous provided an update for locals stating that "due to unforeseen circumstances, Highway 1 will remain closed this afternoon."

The last update was posted to DriveBC at 12:10 p.m. Friday, with the next one not expected until Saturday, April 12 at 9 a.m. It did advise, however, that a detour is available via Highway 97A and 97B. For residents of the impacted area, Old Spallumcheen Road is open to local traffic only, while Old Sicamous Road is open to residents "by traffic control escort only."

See  for updates.
