Coquitlam Mudslide: Road Reopens After Quick Response

0:00Crews in Coquitlam, British Columbia, made solid headway over the weekend and into Monday clearing a mud slide that hit Pipeline Road last week after heavy rains. The slide dumped mud, logs and debris across part of the road, impacting four homes and two industrial sites in the area. Residents and their pets were airlifted to safety by search and rescue teams right away, and officials are keeping everyone out until geotechnical. Experts confirm it's stable. By the end of Monday, they hope to open the road for single lane traffic, though plenty of cleanup remains with more rain in the forecast. Tuesday could bring 15 to 25mm of rain, and the cause is still under review amid risks from extreme weather in hilly spots. But the quick response has kept things under control so far.
