Northbound lanes of the Coquihalla Highway will close overnight on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, at Snowshed Hill from 12:01 a. m. to 8 a. m.

for crucial repairs. This closure addresses issues with a deteriorating seam that has caused water pooling, hydroplaning, and heavy spray, creating hazards for drivers. The Dawson Group will lead the repair work as part of a broader paving project designed to enhance road safety before winter weather sets in. Northbound traffic will be redirected at Othello Road (Exit 183), prompting drivers to seek alternative routes or adjust travel times. Emergency-vehicle access will remain available throughout the closure period.

The repairs aim to prevent further damage to the highway and improve driving conditions. Local authorities encourage drivers to exercise caution and remain alert for construction crews in the area.
