UPDATE: The westbound lanes opened at about 6:30 p.m., and crews continue to work on cleaning up the eastbound lanes.

Drive BC has said Highway 1 is closed in Chilliwack Friday afternoon, as crews work to clean up a semi-truck rollover.

A call came in just before 4 p.m. that a truck had rolled over in the eastbound lanes at the Prest Road overpass. There were no immediate reports of injuries, and RCMP were directing traffic leading up to the closure.

Both lanes were closed as of 4:20 p.m., with the truck laying on its side in the median but partially covering both eastbound and westbound lanes.

This is a developing story.
