US EditionThree overnight closures coming to Highway 1 east of Lytton
- Highway 1 east of Lytton will be closed overnight for three separate 10-hour periods between May 27 and June 4 to allow for construction work on the new overpass at Tank Hill.
- These closures respond to ongoing construction replacing a temporary at-grade crossing installed after November 2021 flooding impacted the Tank Hill site located 14 kilometres east of Lytton.
- Each closure will shut the 36-kilometre section of Highway 1 between Lytton and Spences Bridge in both directions, blocking regular vehicle traffic and setting checkpoints to share detour information.
- Traffic guidance will be offered through electronic signs located near Lillooet and Ashcroft; drivers are advised to follow detours using Highway 12 and Highway 5, while routes such as Highway 3 serve as recommended alternatives.
- The road closures enable the installation of girders and concrete panels for the new overpass, with the project anticipated to be mostly finished by the end of this year; during this time, access for emergency responders and local residents will be preserved.
