Re:  Sea-to-Sky Highway Rockslide

On July 29 at approximately 11:30 p.m., a rockslide closed the Sea-to-Sky Highway between Porteau Cove and the Furry Creek Bridge.  The slide debris covered both lanes of the highway and damaged the CN rail tracks beside the highway.

The slide was outside of any current highway construction areas.

The highway will be closed until further notice.  Ministry geotechnical engineers are onsite assessing the stability of the slope above the slide.  Clean-up will begin once the engineers determine that the site is safe.  Once cleanup begins, workers will do everything they can to reopen the highway as soon as possible.  Due to the size of the boulders, the clean-up will involve blasting.

There is no easy detour route available.  Motorists north of the slide would need to return northbound along Highway 99 to the junction with Highway 97, and then south to Vancouver via Highway 1.  Motorists south of the slide are being turned around at Horseshoe Bay, except for local traffic. 

When more information is available, the public will be updated.  Please check the Drive BC website for updates www.drivebc.ca <http://www.drivebc.ca>   or visit www.theweathernetwork.com <http://www.theweathernetwork.com/>  to register for Road Alerts by text message.  These alerts are for unexpected, sustained highway closures and updates as these situations change.

Thank you,

 I wondered around the village over the week end and noticed a great many people who were gardening in their yards, cleaning in front of their homes and even cleaning the street!  Later that day I drove to the Village Works yard and was met with a line up of vehicles.  Here's some pics from this event.
