No other road closures are affecting the Golden area at this time. Highway 1 heading west is showing compact snow with slushy and slippery sections. Heading east, road conditions have compact snow with limited visibility, and possible delays heading into Field.
Check Drive BC for more details and updates on road closures and estimated opening times. Plan ahead, and always check road conditions before you go.
