Hway 6 still breaking up

The ground has still been moving under Highway 6 on the west side of the Arrow Lakes near the Needles ferry dock.

The highway has been shut down since last week when it started to break up.

A logging road detour is in place but very heavy trucks can’t use that.

Eberle can’t yet say when the repairs will start.
