Flooding erosion closes lane of highway 5, south of Valemount

As of May 31, 2025, flooding and erosion have forced the closure of one lane on Highway 5 south of Valemount, close to the Chappell Creek Recreation Area.
The closures resulted from fast-flowing waters caused by early spring melt combined with heavy rainfall in the North Thompson Valley.
Crews have been on scene since May 31, repairing the road, controlling traffic, and flagging the site while single-lane alternating traffic and speed reductions are in effect.
Fire chief Mike Savage urged extreme caution around riverbanks, and travelers should expect delays until the next update from Drive B.C. On June 3.
The ongoing repairs and traffic control measures suggest continued disruption on Highway 5, with authorities monitoring conditions and providing updates regularly.
