A significant landslide has forced the closure of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) between Golden and Revelstoke, British Columbia, as of May 29, 2026. The incident was reported by DriveBC, which stated that the highway is shut down in both directions due to the slide.
Details of the Closure
The landslide occurred on a stretch of Highway 1 that runs through the mountainous terrain of the Canadian Rockies. Emergency crews are on site assessing the situation, but no estimated time for reopening has been provided. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes, such as Highway 97 or Highway 93, though these may add significant travel time.
Impact on Travel
The closure affects a key transportation corridor between Alberta and British Columbia, particularly for commercial trucking and summer tourists. Travelers heading to or from the Interior of B.C. should expect delays and plan accordingly. DriveBC is updating road conditions regularly on its website and social media channels.
This is a developing story. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from authorities.
