Highway 99 between Pemberton and Lillooet is now open to essential travel after an overnight closure due to weather and saturated ground conditions.
Checkpoints will be in place and travel restrictions will be enforced, however. Weight restrictions are in place on this route from just north of Pemberton to Lillooet.
This route is a steep, mountainous road with narrow sections and sharp curves, and high volumes of commercial vehicles cannot be safely accommodated, the province said.
Regular passenger vehicles, such as cars, SUVs, vans and trucks under a gross vehicle weight of 14,500 kilograms are able to travel on this corridor.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said it is monitoring weather and the performance of the highway.
People should be aware that Highway 99 and others could be closed at any time should conditions change.
Drivers are urged to use extreme caution, obey signs, speed limits and the direction of any traffic-control personnel.
