UPDATE: November 13, 2014 - 4:17pm

A large tree fell on BC Hydro powerlines between Gitwinksihlkw and Laxgalts'ap causing a power outage for the Nisga'a Villages of Laxgalts'ap and Gingolx at 2:29am this morning.  The tree also obstructed the two lane highway.

As of approximately 9:30am this morning the road is now open to single lane, alternating traffic while BC Hydro crews work to restore power.  BC Hydro's estimated time for power restoration is 7:00pm this evening.
