Commuters who use Hwy 1 are being warned of a temporary closure on the highway west of Revelstoke this afternoon.

The closure is due to avalanche control work and is expected to begin at 3 pm and be complete by 5 pm.

The work will occur between Griffin Lake Avalanche Gate and Clanwilliam OH Bridge in the Three Valley Gap.

During the closure, both directions of traffic will be stopped and there will not be an available detour.
