The Coquihalla Highway is set to reopen on Dec. 20, well ahead of the previously-announced timeline.
The reopening, which will be by the end of that day, will be for commercial vehicles only and inter-city buses and will have areas of reduced speeds to ensure driver safety.
It is not known when it will open to all traffic.
The reopening of the Coquihalla, Highway 5, will allow the province to remove the essential designation from Highway 3. The goal is to have Highway 3 reopen for all travel 24 hours after reopening the Coquihalla.
But the province will also be advising people against travel as normal, citing road conditions and rising COVID-19 cases.
