UPDATE: Hwy 97 closed indefinately

Denise Wong - Kelowna 105.7 SUN FM

Highway 97 north of Summerland remains closed indefinitely after crews found unstable rock had shifted on Friday. Arthon Contractors says there is a fissure in the area's cliff face, and motorist safety is the concern.The company says the closure looks like a long one - several days at minimum.

In the meantime, northbound drivers are encouraged to detour through Highway 33 or Highway 3...but keep in mind it will add at least a couple hours to the journey.
