QUESNEL, B.C. — According to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure the Quesnel-Hydraulic Road will remain closed to all traffic at kilometre 20.3, due to ongoing slide activity, until further notice.
There has been significant land instability at that location, and it will remain closed until geotechnical engineers can determine a full-time reopening is safe to the public.
A detour, which will add 30 minutes of travel time, is available to those travelling, via 2700 Rd. and 500 Rd. The detour is actively being graded and patrolled, with additional gravel being added in some areas to ensure the route is in good condition.
French Rd. is being prepared at the moment to serve as a second detour route, that work should be completed by tomorrow (Friday, May 15).
