Water from Kenneth Creek was too much for the culvert to handle, so it spills over  highway  16

Prince George, B.C. – Highway 16 east is closed  73 kilometers east of Prince George because of a washout at Kenneth Creek.

East bound traffic is being stopped at the Purden Resort.

While the estimated time of reopening is not yet available,  DriveBC plans to issue an update at about 3:00.
