A rockslide had struck Highway 16 about 10 kilometers west of Terrace this morning, Tuesday, October 7th. Crews on-site say it happened shortly before 5:00am.
The slide took place in the East Amsbury area, scattering debris across the road and reducing Highway 16 to a single lane of alternating traffic at the slide area. There were no reports of any injuries.

Most of the rocks have now been cleared away, and work crews at the site said they will be assessing the rockface for stability later today.
