I drove my AWD SUV to km 4 and stopped at the closed gate. The road was in very good shape with a few potholes and some easily manageable water ditches across it. I walked past the gate and up to the end of the road. Deactivation ditches got much deeper around km 6 so you would need good clearance and likely 4WD. Patches of snow started about km 6.5 and the road quickly became snow covered. The photo is around km 5 but represents how the road is from its beginning g.
