Reduced speed limits will be in effect. Travellers are encouraged to plan for additional travel time as significant queues may occur.

No stopping will be permitted within the active work and wildfire-affected areas of the corridor. Recovery and repair operations remain underway and stopping could pose a safety risk to travellers and crews.

To support corridor safety, bicycle travel through the area is not recommended.

Drivers are reminded to obey all traffic-control personnel and signage in the area and exercise patience while crews manage traffic through the corridor.

Motorists are encouraged to consider alternative routes, including Highway 5 and Highway 3, where appropriate.
