Here's a rundown of highway closures and conditions in B.C.

Highways connecting the Lower Mainland to the rest of B.C. have faced flooding, landslides and in some cases, complete washouts since a historic storm hit the province Nov. 13.

Many people who were left stranded when travel between the Lower Mainland and the rest of the province was cut off chose to head south into Washington state and back into Canada to get home.

At least 200 sites on highways in the Lower Mainland and Interior were affected, according to the province.However, the state of highways in B.C.remains ever changing amid further heavy rainfall and as routes are reopened following cleanup.

Here's a look at the state of B.C.'s highways as of 1 p.m. PT on Dec. 20.

Lower Mainland

Highway 1:The stretch of theTrans Canada Highwayconnecting the Fraser Valley to Hope is open in two lanes in each direction as of Dec. 7.

Although that areais not limited to essential travel, the province is asking people to avoid unnecessary travel on Highway 1 to help keep the road safe for commercial vehicles transporting goods.

Highway 7: Highway 7 between Mission and Hope was opened to general traffic on Dec. 6after initially being restricted to essential vehicles only.

On Nov. 15, motorists were stranded as a result of several mudslides on this stretch of highway.According to the Ministry of Transportation, abandoned vehicles on Highway 7 were towed and moved to secure storage.

The Ministry of Transportation says motorists will now be able to use the stretch to commute to work and drive children to school.The stretch is likely to see increased traffic, and drivers should be prepared for delays, according to the province.

Highway 11: The section between Hazelwood Avenue and Clayburn Road reopened Dec. 6 to passenger and emergency vehicles only, restoring the highway connection between Abbotsford and Mission.

On Dec. 10, that same section reopened to commercial vehicle traffic as well. All traffic is now moving on the two southbound lanes of Highway 11 using a single lane in each direction. The northbound lanes remain closed until the highway can be fully repaired from flood damage.

Although it is not subject to anessential travel order, people are asked to limit unnecessary travel on this stretch of Highway 11.All drivers should expect a slower commute and delays.

Routes connecting Lower Mainland to Interior

Highway 1: The Trans Canada Highway between Lytton and Spences Bridge is closed due to a rock slide.There is no estimated reopening time, but DriveBC will provide an updateon Dec. 8.

Highway 1 is also closed between Lytton and Jackass Mountain Summitwith the exception of local and essential travel only, due to flooding and a mudslide. The situation at this section of the Trans Canada will also be updated Dec. 8.

Highway 3:There is currently atravel advisory in place between Hope and Princeton, restricting thisstretch of Highway 3 to essential traffic only.

Checkpoints and travel restrictions are beingenforced, and there is no stopping allowed in Princetonfor vehicles over 14 tons. The province says to "expect congestion" on the route, as well as a police presence because, according toTransportation Minister Rob Fleming, there have been "too many accidents" on the highway.

The province plans on reopening Highway 3 to all traffic at 8 a.m. PT Tuesday, Dec. 21.

Highway 5: The Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt opened on Monday, Dec. 20 to commercial vehicles with a minimum licensed gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 11,794 kilograms.and inter-city buses only.
