Princeton Summerland Road, closed early Saturday April 25, 2020 by a landslide, was re-opened for traffic at approximately 3 p.m.
The slide occurred at the intersection of Shinnish Creek Road, and both roads were made impassable, according to Hayes Creek Fire Chief Rob Miller.
Heavy equipment arrived on the scene, and at 10 a.m. pushed through a lane for emergency vehicles only.
A geo-technician was called to assess the area, and determined it was safe for clean up and travellers, said Miller.
However Miller said the KVR trail – where the slide originated – is “gone” and the off-road area is impassable. “The area is unsafe until further notice. Stay clear of the slide area at KVR…for your own safety.”
