Workers use a hydrovac to excavate a hole in Clearwater Village Road by the Highway 5 junction at Wells Gray Inn on Sept. 26.
Ministry of Transportation and Infastructure is installing a pipe between the hotel and the highway to drain the area uphill from the hotel.
The hydrovac was used to ensure nothing happened to the trans-Canada fiberoptic cable, which runs down Village Road in the location.
