Palliser FSR Bridge (13km):

Bridge work is now completed. Open as of June 13 to light vehicle traffic (access to Nipika and area).  As of Tuesday (19th) the rock trucks and other heavy traffic will get the green light.  More than two weeks ahead of schedule.

Cross FSR Bridge (33.5km):

Remains out and impassable at this time due to a natural event.  This is just East of the Mitchell FSR intersection.

East Fork White River FSR (52+km):

Rough and wet beyond this point, especially past Monroe Lake toward the Bull River FSR.

Horsethief FSR

Washout remains at Gopher Creek (27.5km) due to natural event. May be washout/slide issue at approximately 19km as well (several km before Wilfley’s cabin/bridge), however no good information on this at this time.

Jumbo FSR

A small slump on the road at 1 km, however can be driven over with high clearance.  Road is currently impassable beyond 7km due to avalanches and residue (trees).  As the snow recedes users will likely cut through the downed trees, however few if any turn-arounds on that stretch and it will be awhile before anyone drives to Leona Creek parking.

Public caution

Seasonal conditions exist on most roads.  A minimum of high clearance two-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for most back-country travel.  Back-country roads may present rough and/or wet conditions with soft (muddy) sections.  Where avalanche paths exist the roads may be partially covered with residual debris.  Travellers should carry appropriate equipment.

As always, caution is advised on all roads and back-country travellers should be aware of rapidly changing weather conditions and stream flows which may affect road conditions.  Further advice for travelling on Forest Service Roads is available on the Rocky Mountain Resource District website ( www.for.gov.bc.ca/drm/ ).
