Access and trail reports

Dore River road access: closed bridge; reopening not verified

The provincial page updated October 8, 2026 still lists the Dore River Branch 1 bridge at kilometre 2.1 as closed with a zero-tonne load rating. The same page announced replacement work for the week of August 17 and expected two to three weeks of construction, but does not confirm reopening. These overlapping notices leave the current outcome unresolved. Confirm reopening with the road authority before relying on access beyond this bridge.

Reported 2024-08-06 · checked 2026-10-17 · Province of British Columbia

Reports describe the cited dates. An expected reopening date does not establish reopened access.
