The B.C. Ministry of Transportation announced a 30-kilometre stretch of Highway 97 between Mackenzie junction and Chetwynd will re-open tonight after being shut down for nearly two weeks.
The stretch of road had been closed because of numerous washouts caused by a four-day stretch of heavy rain that caused flooding two weeks ago.
The opening will take place at 7 p.m. from both ends of the stretch of highway.
A single-lane will be open to passenger vehicles and to commercial vehicles with single trailers only.
