The landscape surrounding the Lougheed Highway between Hope and Agassiz has seen significant changes.

Water runs across the road as multiple waterfalls cascade down the hills. Debris, mud and rocks accumulate along the side of the road.

As of Monday morning, traffic remains light as Highway 7 is open from Mission to Hope for essential travel only.
