KELOWNA, B.C. – RCMP in Kelowna, B.C., say they have reopened Highway 97 to all traffic after closing it for a stretch due to an assault investigation in the early morning hours on Friday.
The route was shut just before 1 p.m., and Mounties issued a statement saying the route had reopened just before 2:15 p.m.
The RCMP say officers are still in the area and no further details would be released.
The route had been closed between Beaver Lake and Old Vernon roads, from north of Kelowna International Airport into the District of Lake Country.
Police have not provided further details about the nature of the assault.
Highway 97 is the main artery connecting cities in the Okanagan region, including between Kelowna and Vernon, where the closure was in place.
