Travellers are advised that the Mabel-Cotton Forest Service Road, at the 33.6-kilometre mark on Tsiuis Creek, is closed due to slope instability and the risk of debris sliding on to the road.
The Mabel Lake Forest Service Road from Mabel Lake (Lumby to the south) to Highway 1 (Three Valley Gap to the north) will remain open.
“The public can travel this section of road to access recreational properties,” said Lyle Knight, Ministry of Forests engineering officer, in a press release.
“However, travellers are advised to avoid Tsiuis Creek upstream from Mabel Lake until further notice.”
Staff from the ministry will continue to monitor the instability.
“Residents and visitors to Tsiuis Creek should remain on alert for any sudden drop in creek flow and be prepared to evacuate the area on short notice,” said Knight.
To report an emergency situation, call 1-800-663-3456.
