CALGARY- A high avalanche hazard forced the closure of the Trans-Canada highway on Monday.
Highway 1 has been closed in both directions all the way from Revelstoke, B.C. to the Alberta border. There are no detours available between Revelstoke and Golden, but the roadway was expected to reopen sometime on Monday afternoon.
The highway between Golden and Alberta near Field is not expected to reopen until late Tuesday. Drivers can use Highway 95 from Golden to Radium instead, or Highway 93 south from Radium to Castle Junction.
An avalanche on Highway 16 near Valemont, B.C. also forced the closure of that roadway.

Doesn't that just end up on hiway 93 which only takes you to jasper or lake Louise? Or is there a road I don't know about?

And I think it's closed in winter time between Jasper and highway 11.

Oh ok I wasn't a 100% sure if it was or not. I just thought I seen a sign the last time I went through Jasper saying it was closed from a certain date to a certain date.
