UPDATE:
Drive BC says Highway 16 has been re-opened just outside of Smithers.
An earlier vehicle incident six kilometres east of the town forced the brief closure.
Commuters are being asked to move carefully and drive to the road conditions as congestion could cause delays.
OPEN – #BCHwy16 6 KM east of #SmithersBC following earlier vehicle incident. Expect delays due to congestion.
