Highway 97 has now been reopened but DriveBC is warning drivers of the problems with visibility because of smoke between Big Bar Rd and 94 Mile Frontage – five km south of 100 Mile House to 7 km north of Clinton – due to the wildfire in Flat Lake.
A travel advisory has also gone into effect due to the fire, which has been estimated to be as large as 8,725 hectares. DriveBC said future closures of the highway are very much possible and that it would likely be closed with “very limited notice.”
