UPDATED: Ainsworth road reopens

Hanson road south of Ainsworth has re-opened.

It was badly damaged last month due to heavy water flow and one home was evacuated for a night.

But the Ministry of Highways and contractor Yellowhead Road and Bridge have fixed it.

Deer Park forest service road has also re-opened.

It was closed for more than a week after a portion fell into Lower Arrow Lake.

An evacuation alert at Johnsons Landing was lifted last week.

That leaves just one major problem area.

A handful of homes south of New Denver remain isolated after a slide cut off a private road.

Regional District of Central Kootenay spokeswoman Anitra Winje says efforts have been hampered by the weather.

Residents are able to get in and out on foot.

Winje says they’re also keeping an eye on a creek in Taghum that experienced a small slide.
