Williams Lake, B.C.- Drive BC estimates Highway 20 25 kilometers west of Williams Lake will reopen next Friday.

A washout closed the road near the Sheep Creek Bridge early Monday morning.

One motorist was swept away by rushing water but was later rescued.

A detour is available. Check Drive BC for details.

*Editor’s note: Drive BC reported the road had reopened at 9:19 pm last night but later retracted that alert acknowledging to 250News it was a mistake.
