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, 2026

Big 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...

We 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...

A 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

Brushed out and just larger water bars to contend with

It 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 ...

In good shape to LL1000

Francis Bailey - Sep 07, 2026

Steep, rutted and lots of loose rocks. No problem in a truck but very slow going

Francis Bailey - Sep 04, 2026

No 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...

Active 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, 2026

Good condition to the top, but appears to be getting actively worked on. Can't drive on it just yet.

Francis Bailey - Aug 31, 2026

The 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...

Only drove to the start of the Iskut mainline. Good condition overall

Francis Bailey - Aug 27, 2026

I 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...

Reasonably 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...

Same 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...

Gated at the entrance and the bridge appears to be condemned

Steep and rocky in places but generally in good condition. I’d want a good 4x4

Heavily overgrown from the start and didn’t explore any further

Francis Bailey - Aug 25, 2026

Huge 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, 2026

Easily 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...

Still barricaded when we drove past

Francis Bailey - Aug 16, 2026

Great condition up to Tenas Creek

Francis Bailey - Aug 08, 2026

No real change in conditions. The road is overgrown in spots but it’s not particularly bad pin striping by coastal standards.

Only 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.

Heavily overgrown, but walkable

Francis Bailey - Jul 19, 2026

Gates still open and the road is same condition as previously reported.

Heavily overgrown, but there's enough of a foot bed to work with. No possible to bike

Francis Bailey - Jul 19, 2026

Same as before! Didn’t drive any further but it’s good to the bridge at 32.5km
