Road Bulletins
Usual fast shape to Bush Harbour (km 43) then narrower but still good to the Sullivan junction (61.5). At ~km 63, shortly before the Valancienne River, there is a 2-300m stretch that has been raised significantly due to previous washouts. This section is quite muddy and rutted at present and the ruts bottomed out our SUV requiring an extraction and second attempt to get through. 2WD/any vehicle with little clearance is likely to have a challenging time here. This is the worst I have seen the main Bush FSR in my 10 times on it. Hopefully in time it will dry out and perhaps they'll take a grader to it but it seems no active hauling up here right now.
Driveability = 2wd to bridge-out location at 100km. Alder is taking over between 96-100km (probably taking road within a couple years). One shallow mudpit along this section.
Excellent condition, 2WD driveable until km 95. Then it becomes overgrown, but still driveable if you do not care about your paint. Bridge is removed at km 100.5.
Road is in good shape EXCEPT for the bridge being removed at 100.5km. Road is foot access only with a challenging ford from there--may be impassable in high water and accidents have occurred here.
