Borderline torture to drive. I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive this regularly. Endless wash boards, pot holes and exposed rocks
Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2026Big tank trap sized water bars so you’ll have a very hard time driving through. We found new road line flagging above the cut block though, so this ma...
Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2026We decided to risk it through the clearing in the land slide, but don’t take our success for granted. The creek is now running through the landslide a...
Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2026A little overgrown but now water bars and the road bed is in great shape. We only drove the first km or so but then walked back from 7km on foot
Francis Bailey - Sep 13, 2026It seems in the last year or so the road has been completely brushed out. No bush what so ever. With that being said the water bars that are in place ...
Francis Bailey - Sep 07, 2026Steep, rutted and lots of loose rocks. No problem in a truck but very slow going
Francis Bailey - Sep 04, 2026No change from Oleg’s report. Although I’ll add that the road is pretty crappy and steep to drive. It took me an hour from the valley to the washout a...
Francis Bailey - Sep 04, 2026Active road building an hauling is occurring. I didn't drive up there but I could see trucks all the way to the top
Francis Bailey - Aug 31, 2026Good condition to the top, but appears to be getting actively worked on. Can't drive on it just yet.
Francis Bailey - Aug 31, 2026The road has been re-activated all the way to 25.5km and there is a lot of logging activity/hauling going on. RR-3 to start and then switches to LAD-1...
Francis Bailey - Aug 31, 2026I found out more details about this road from the shop owner in Jade City. She stated they’re actively mining at around 88km but the road is not acces...
Francis Bailey - Aug 29, 2026Reasonably easy to drive in 4x4 truck with a mandatory creek crossing at 3km. No problem in a truck but probably not doable in a lower clearance vehic...
Francis Bailey - Aug 28, 2026Same conditions as Kt reported although we didn’t attempt to drive through the narrow cut in the stuff on the switchback. The upper most switchback is...
Francis Bailey - Aug 28, 2026Steep and rocky in places but generally in good condition. I’d want a good 4x4
Francis Bailey - Aug 26, 2026Huge ditch at the beginning and then a large boulder after that. Multiple washed out sections. Quite overgrown for the first km but improves after tha...
Francis Bailey - Aug 25, 2026Easily driven in any vehicle to 36.5km after which there’s a washout with a 4x4 bypass. Beyond that there’s large boulders on the road which can be dr...
Francis Bailey - Aug 25, 2026No real change in conditions. The road is overgrown in spots but it’s not particularly bad pin striping by coastal standards.
Francis Bailey - Aug 08, 2026Only drove/biked/walked as far as SL-2 turnoff. The road is bikeable to the major washout at 1.6km. After that it's not worth it.
Francis Bailey - Jul 19, 2026Gates still open and the road is same condition as previously reported.
Francis Bailey - Jul 19, 2026Heavily overgrown, but there's enough of a foot bed to work with. No possible to bike
Francis Bailey - Jul 19, 2026Same as before! Didn’t drive any further but it’s good to the bridge at 32.5km
