British Columbia’s transportation ministry says an “intense spring storm” is poised to hit a 150 km stretch of Highway in the southeastern part of the province.

DriveBC issued a travel advisory Saturday morning for a portion of Highway 1 running between Golden and Revelstoke.

It says the storm is expected to peak on Monday and may require avalanche control work affecting traffic in both directions.

DriveBC says a closure of up to 8 hours may be required to ensure traveler safety.

The travel advisory covers the stretch of Highway 1 between Highway 23 South and Golden Donald Upper Rd..

It says it will issue another update on Monday.
