UPDATE:
A stretch of Highway 35 south of Burns Lake has re-opened to traffic as of early Saturday morning.
The closure was due to a vehicle incident along Gilgan Road, which blocked both directions less than 10 kilometres south of the Highway 16 junction.
Drivers are asked to use caution along major stretches in the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District as the snow continues to fall this weekend.
