Drive BC says Highway 16 is now open to single-lane alternating traffic east of Prince George.
A vehicle incident this morning (Nov. 5) closed the stretch near the West Twin Creek bridge completely, but has opened roughly one hour later.
No other detours are available, so commuters are being asked to drive slowly and watch for traffic control with the delays.
Earlier today, Prince George RCMP responded to two collisions on Highway 16 west and while no injuries were reported, one person was transported to hospital.
Mounties continue to warn drivers to be aware of changing road conditions and to take extra precautions due to the continued drop in temperatures this time of year.
UPDATE - #BCHwy16 - Highway is now open to single lane alternating traffic west of Lamco Rd near West Twin Provincial Park. Watch for traffic control on scene and expect delays due to congestion in the area. More info: https://t.co/aQwNzM9Mwl #McBrideBC pic.twitter.com/kZZfHi6ixQ

Slippery roads in and out of Prince George are causing more closures this morning (Nov. 5).
Drive BC is now reporting a vehicle incident roughly 180 km east of the city near West Twin Old Provincial Park that has closed the road in both directions as of 9:45 a.m.
The provincial service says the incident occurred west of Lamco Road at the West Twin Creek Bridge.
No detour is available and there's currently no estimated time of reopening.
Via highway cameras, the incident also appears to have caused a backlog with lots of trucks heading west towards Prince George waiting for the stretch to open.
