“The information we have about this event is thin and vague, but we are anticipating impacts along the Highway 1, Highway 3, and Highway 5 corridor in Hope, starting in the morning around 9 a.m.,” the release on Facebook states.

“It is unclear where exactly the potential impacts on traffic will materialize, and how long disruptions will last.”

Emil Anderson Maintenance says they want to give the public ample warning, minimize inconveniences and make travelling smoother. They also recommended drivers to plan alternate routes or leave earlier.
