Motorists on Highway 97 near Oliver are being warned of water pooling in sections on the road on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
Although DriveBC initially reported wet conditions for 51.4 kilometres on Tuesday morning, between Kaleden and Osoyoos, only one warning remains in place. Drivers are now asked to watch for water pooling and reduce their speed to 50 km/h at Park Rill Road, three kilometres north of Oliver.
DriveBC’s most recent update came at 11:10 a.m.
Last week on Highway 97, the service issued warnings for black ice conditions across the South Okanagan. As of Jan. 10, drivers are asked to watch for slippery sections between White Lake Road near Kaleden, and Bridgeman Road in Summerland, for 32.6 kilometres.
DriveBC also warns of slippery conditions on Highway 3A for nine kilometres, between Twin Lakes Road and Junction Highway 97 near Kaleden.
