Highway 97, the major connector road or the interior, opens again after being closed for more than two weeks:

CBC NewsA major highway in B.C’s Okanagan Valley reopened Wednesday morning after it was closed more than two weeks ago due to an unstable rock face that threatened to collapse onto the road.
The reopening came as crews were able to stabilize the hillside along Highway 97 by blasting tonnes of rock off the top of the slope and piling it at the bottom to act as a natural doorstop.
But Highway 99 on the coast closes (at least partly) for the same reason.
