There are going to be some big detours for people to access the Westside Road area. A section of the road, about 50 metres in length, has been swept away by a landslide, cutting off traffic in both directions. The slide came down just after 9:30 last night. It came down between Browse Road and Bear Creek Trail. That's about a three-minute drive north of the former Lake Okanagan Resort.
