Note: The closure, which was planned for Tuesday, April 15 has been moved to Wednesday, April 16, 2025.
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 Wednesday, April 16, 2025 between 12:01AM to 4:00AM (PST). In the 24 hours leading up to the closure, Single Lane Alternating Traffic (SLAT) will be in effect.
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 travelling 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.
