DriveBC has lifted the closure of Hwy 16 between Terrace and Prince Rupert, but due to road maintenance, it is single-lane only. Alternating traffic is expected to cause a delay of up to 20 minutes.

The highway was shut down in both directions yesterday due to high avalanche danger. With both directions now open to travel, DriveBC is cautioning against compact snow and slippery sections.

The closure came as a period of prolonged heavy snowfall hit the area through series of storms.
