Road Bulletins
Francis Bailey reported on: Nov 24, 2024
Rock truck at around 7.5km
This washout was around the 11km mark. It gets progressively worse until 12.5km or so.
Lots of large rocks on the road which could be moved with the right equipment.
The bypass at the 12km mark
The huge wash out at the 12km mark
There was no more road block at the 5km mark, but a rock truck was blocking the road around the 7.5km mark. There appears to be active blasting and road repairs ongoing and a huge bypass is being built around the 9km mark where the road runs closest to Sowaqua Creek. The road would be easily driven in a 4x4 up to the 10.5km mark after which the road degrades heavily. There are numerous wash outs, and large rocks blocking the road. A bypass has been completed around the huge washout past the 12km mark, but I don't think you can reach it with a vehicle yet. Due to the huge presence of construction equipment, my guess is a lot of the road will be repaired in the coming year. Fully accessible on bike in the mean time.

Beginning of the road with closure notice
blockage at around 5 km
washout, a bypass getting built above
Blocked around 5 km.
Some road improvement is going on beyond that - previous washouts and rock slides and mostly flattened.
New bypass at 11 km washout is getting built.

Mostly good condition AWD low clearance, with some large boulders to navigate around. The exception is a huge washout around 11km which has taken out the whole road. A very rough steep bypass has been cut into place above the road. High clearance 4x4 required for this bypass.
