Roads open

 

Road to Gold River open

 10:20 am

Road conditions update 8:00 am Wednesday

 Please be advised that high winds have resulted in significant fallen trees/debris on roads and highways throughout the North Island. Several road and highway closures have been implemented overnight, including:

 

• Highway 19N between Port McNeill and Campbell River
• Highway 28
• Highway 30
• Head Bay FSR
• Coal Harbour Rd
• Zeballos FSR

 

Our maintenance contractor has set up road closures and checkpoints, hazard assessments are underway and when conditions permit safe access crews and subcontractors will begin clearing trees/debris. We are aware of power outages and will continue working with BC Hydro to coordinate their assessments and repairs. Wind warnings remain in effect currently, with peak winds expected this morning and easing into the afternoon.

 

Further updates will be provided as conditions change, and current information is posted on DriveBC.

 

Thanks,

 Village of Tahsis crews have set up barricades to close the HBFSR at our end.  Mainroad has contacted contractors in Campbell River to assemble at dawn and start the hazard assessments and clearing working east to west. MoTI says Highway 28 to remain closed until at least noon Nov 20^th. Checkpoints are in place at Gold River and the brake check at the top of General Hill on the Campbell River side.

 

Emergency services have been notified and BC Hydro crews will be accessing the area tonight to perform an assessment

 

Check DriveBC for updates on both.

 5:40pm TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19: Please be advised that Highway 28 and Head Bay FSR have been closed due to weather conditions, with high wind resulting in trees falling on to the highway.

Our maintenance contractor has set up the road closure and we are currently monitoring conditions. Winds are expected to diminish into the evening and overnight and once crews can safely access and clear the roads they will be reopened.
