Transit detour due to bridge closure in West Kootenays

BC Transit, the City of Nelson and the Regional District of Central Kootenays (RDCK) are advising customers of an upcoming temporary change to transit service. 

Starting October 16 until October 31, construction on the Perry’s Back Road Bridge will cause some delays and route changes. Route 20 Slocan Valley will detour away from Slocan River Road/Perry’s Back Road and instead take Highway 6 between Winlaw and the Threads Guild Hall.  

Please see notices printed at area bus stops and sign up for customer alerts at bctransit.com/west-kootenay for the latest on this detour.  

To view a map of this detour please visit the RDCK website at rdck.ca.
