I’m on a tour of the Coquihalla highway to see the damage and the repair work that happening to reopen it. There are 20 locations on the Hwy damaged. We are stopping at 4 of them this morning First one is called Murray Flats 1. The river washed away the entire southbound lane of the Hwy. Crews have been dumping aggregate to build it back up. Photo of damage and then how it looks now.
