Highway 16 Near Legate Creek Opens

From the Terrace Standard concerning the mud slide on Highway 16 near Legate Creek:

HIGHWAY 16 east of Terrace continues to be open at intervals each morning, afternoon and evening.

The times are 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 2 to 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. with traffic going through in alternating single lane fashion.

The closures are necessary so work crews can continue to clear away a massive mudslide that came down and blocked the highway the morning of May 28.

There's no indication yet when the highway will open for good and to two-lane traffic.

Traffic has also been flowing over the only other east-west road corridor in the northwest, a logging road known as the Cranberry Connector.
