Hello,

We are starting work on the Snowshed Hill this afternoon. A left lane closure will be in place both directions until June 30 to complete leftover drain work from last summer. Speed has been reduced to 60km/hr both directions from Zopkios to the Snowshed.

Please obey traffic control signage and speed drops. If you have any concerns or would like to report something (downed sign, cones, etc.) please call our office.

Thank you

Good morning,

The long weekend is upon us, and we've had reports of light snowfall on the Coquihalla. Road temperatures are preventing any accumulation, however, please adjust driving speeds as slippery sections may be encountered, depending on location specific conditions. Travel safe everyone.

Good afternoon,

As we near the long weekend, some forecasts are calling for colder, wet, weather conditions. While any significant road accumulations are unlikely, a mix of rain and snow can't be ruled out. Please understand slushy and/or slippery conditions may be experienced periodically over the long weekend. We will continue to provide updates as forecasts become more clear.

❄️Spring Storm Alert!❄️

Snowfall will impact the Coquihalla at least one more time. We are anticipating a moderate snowfall today with forecasts calling between 4-10cm, and an additional 10cm is possible tonight. With temps warming throughout the day today, a mix of snow and rain will be possible. Please anticipate slushy road conditions if travelling the Coq.

A reminder that winter tires are mandatory until April 30th for select mountain passes, including the Coquihalla. If you have swapped tires already, or are not prepared for winter driving conditions, please do not travel the Coq today. Weather looks to back off late tonight, around midnight.

Check for updates on road conditions, and plan your trips accordingly. Be safe everyone!
