Emergency work underway on Cecil Lake Road, detours, delays expected
Emergency work began on Cecil Lake Road at kilometre 54, near the Goodlow Cemetary, on Tuesday morning due to failing infrastructure.
CECIL LAKE, B.C. — Emergency work began on Cecil Lake Road at kilometre 54, near the Goodlow Cemetary, on Tuesday morning due to failing infrastructure, according to Dawson Road Maintenance and DriveBC.
Major delays should be expected as well as intermittent road closures.
The work spans across 1.6 kilometres between 248 Road and Clayhurst Road, approximately eight kilometres west of the Alberta border. Single-lane, alternating traffic is in place.
To avoid congestion, major delays and reroutes, light traffic is encouraged to detour on Golatta Creek Road.
Due to seasonal weight restrictions, no detour route is available for heavy traffic, such as commercial vehicles. All heavy traffic is encouraged to use alternate routes through Dawson Creek until 8 p.m. on March 27th.
At this time, it is unclear when the road will reopen to normal traffic.
DriveBC’s next update is expected to be posted at noon on Tuesday. More information can be found on the organization’s website.
