BC floods: Provincial government provides update on state of emergency | LIVE

Global News published this video item, entitled “BC floods: Provincial government provides update on state of emergency | LIVE” – below is their description.

B.C. officials will provide an update Tuesday on the province’s state of emergency following catastrophic flooding in November.

The state of emergency was extended last Tuesday because of ongoing repairs on highways damaged by the record-breaking floods and landslides. The Ministry of Public Safety, however, said it only planned to keep it in place for another week.

Right now, orders include travel restrictions along the Coquihalla Highway and Highway 99.

Other highways remain closed, including Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon. North of communities such as Boothroyd and Boston Bar, the risk of avalanches has stalled work on a temporary bridge at Jackass Mountain.

Several avalanches to the south have also trapped communities in between.
