Road Bulletins
I am suggesting impassible (as in, no way through to Tulameen) because of the following:
1- blocked at 2.9km
2- atv trail style bypass past Murphy lakes, puts you at about 8.5km on Lawless-Britton (very steep, lots of loose rocks, be very sure that you're comfortable getting down if you go up)
2- small (1/4 road?) washout between there and the bridge at 12.25km, my waypoint didn't save
3- the bridge at 12.25km has large blocks on the Tulameen side that someone has moved but could be put back in place
4- pretty significant crumbly washout at 15.5km - good enough for a Jeep size vehicle now, but I expect a significant rain could take it out (pictured)
5- blocks at lawless creek fsr and a no thru road sign
From that point the road is great going into Tulameen. I wouldn't recommend testing the washouts or going in with the goal of getting to Tulameen without the knowledge that you might be forced to turn around. But YMMV.

[From UntrammelledTravels] - less maintained than Tulameen but still in excellent condition. However, road is blocked at ~2.9km mark. See: https://www.untrammelledtravels.ca/murphy-lakes-and-grasshopper-ridge-tulameen-and-lawless-grasshopper-fsr-s
Strictly speaking this road is impassable due to washouts and the concrete barricades at 2.9 and ~7.5km. Between these barricades are a handful of small washouts around 1/4 - 1/2 road width and a narrow one that stretches across the whole road leaving only a narrow bench on the uphill side for passage.
2 wheels can get you through all this, but for 4 wheels, there's a steep bypass thought the Murphy Lakes RPL 44 cutblock, just east of the Murphy Lakes, that rejoins the main FSR just past the barricade at 7.5km.
