FIELD, B.C. — One lane of the Trans-Canada Highway in eastern British Columbia leading to Alberta has reopened.
The highway was closed in both directions since Monday, when a rock slide occurred when crews were working on drilling holes for explosives 16 kilometres west of Field.
Two workers were caught in the slide and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Lindsay McPherson of Parks Canada says the highway reopened to single lane alternating traffic at around 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
She says flagging personnel were on site and there are speed reductions in place.
Crews are continuing to work to restore two-way traffic as soon as it is safe to do so.
