As Mike said, the road is heavily washed out at the indicated point (3.85km) and will not be passable for almost any vehicle unless heavy machinery comes and fixes it up.

Road up to that point is pretty rough, lots of steep, rocky stretches that necessitates all terrain tires. Personally I would not take any vehicle without all terrain tires on this road, it's way too rough. 4x4 strongly recommended.

The road is washed out at about 3.8 km. 49.99571, -123.29057 . A lot of it is clearable by hand but a large truck with a winch would be needed to move a couple of the big rocks over to allow passage. This is about 2 km to the trail head. As you are about to get to the trail head, the bank is falling down a bit, rocks would need to be moved out of the way for driving but until the washout is fixed, it is not worth worrying about.

Made it up in a Subaru Forester this weekend to about 100m before the pulled bridge where all but the most capable vehicles park up.

Some boulders on the road at a few points but easily navigated. Fairly deep water bars but those were able to be handled with care.

[From Stephan Bernhard] - Drove up Branch 220/223 to 1150m. Road in decent shape, some big boulders on the road but you can navigate around. Unfortunately there are piles burning in the recent cutblocks on Branch 220/223
