Rockfall with large boulders closes Highway 7 west of Hope, B.C.

HOPE, B.C. — A rockfall has closed a stretch of Highway 7 in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

Drive BC, the province’s traveller information service, says the slide is located west of Hope, B.C., between the 7 Day Adventist Youth Camp Road and Ross Road.

Photos posted to social media by the Ministry of Transportation show a power pole and lines down, along with large boulders, and shattered rocks covering both sides of the highway.

The photos show the rocks came down a steep cliff where protective netting had been installed.
