Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said floodwaters were receding and repair work will start with contractors, non-governmental organizations and specialized B.C. Farnworth was in Princeton and surrounding communities last week where he observed flood damage and initial cleanup and recovery efforts. Later Tuesday, the Ministry of Transportation announced the full reopening of Highway 1 between Abbotsford and Hope. The ministry said the full reopening occurred following cleanup, repairs and engineering assessments of the highway. It also means counter-flow traffic management through the Bridal Falls area was no longer required, the statement said.
