Highway 97 is the main transportation corridor between Kelowna and Penticton. Driver Dean Pratley said "house-sized rocks" came down in a landslide above Highway 97 between Penticton and Summerland, B.C., on Feb. 2, 2019. DriveBC says that a single lane in each direction on Highway 97 is expected to open at 5 a.m. PT on Monday. "This will provide travellers with a safe, two-lane direct route around the highway closure north of Summerland," said the ministry in a release. The detour will also open at 5 a.m. PT Monday and can accommodate both light vehicles and commercial vehicles.
