I’m on the fence about calling this heavily degraded as there’s one creek crossing which is on the cusp. It may be doable in a cross trek type vehicle...
Francis Bailey - Oct 12, 2026Same conditions as before and thankfully the landslide continues to hold. May not be the case for next spring. Light dusting of snow is sticking aroun...
Francis Bailey - Oct 12, 2026Same as reported before, but a grader is actively working on the road and it seems to be in the best shape I've seen it.
Francis Bailey - Oct 03, 2026The lower section has many large tank traps and over grown sections. After the first switch back it’s in much better condition
Francis Bailey - Sep 27, 2026Easily biked although there’s one steep section that’s washing out and the last few hundred meters have trees growing out of the road
Francis Bailey - Sep 27, 2026There’s a tank trap at the start and the bridge after is down rated to 0 tonnes, but the rest of the road up to Branch 70 is in good condition
Francis Bailey - Sep 27, 2026A little overgrown but no 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, 2026Borderline 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, 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...
