Slocan Valley detour begins Thursday

BC Transit, the City of Nelson and the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) are advising riders of a temporary detour on Route 20 Slocan Valley due to bridge construction.

From Thursday, Oct. 16, through Thursday, Oct. 31, work on the Perry’s Back Road Bridge will impact regular transit service in the area.

During this time, Route 20 will detour off Slocan River Road and Perry’s Back Road, instead travelling along Highway 6 between Winlaw and the Threads Guild Hall.

Riders can expect delays and changes to regular routing.
