The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit shared the following update:
The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) will be implementing 1 overnight closure on Highway 1 at the Tank Hill site, located 14km east of Lytton, BC., to accommodate a crane move on site.
The 4-hour nighttime closure will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 between 12:01AM to 4:00AM (PST).
During the closure period, hard closures will be in place at the intersections of Highway 1 & 12 and Highway 1 & 8. Checkpoints in Lytton and Spences Bridge will be maintained to provide travelers with information about their options. Local traffic will still have access to the Gladwin Area and Nicomen River Road. All other traffic will be detoured via Highway 12 and Highway 5, with guidance provided through portable message boards, dynamic message signs (DMS) in Lillooet and Ashcraft, and real-time updates on DriveBC.
Drivers traveling between the Interior and the Lower Mainland are encouraged to use Highway 3 or Highway 5 as alternative routes. Emergency vehicles will be provided access throughout the planned closures. MOTT appreciates the cooperation and understanding of local communities and residents during the closure.
