The Coquihalla highway is closed northbound due to a rockslide, according to DriveBC.

The closure is about 16 kilometres south of Merritt, and only affects northbound traffic.

DriveBC does not have an estimated time of opening at this time, and suggests Highway 3 or Highway 1 as alternate routes.

An update is expected at midnight.
