Old Fort Landslide Road Construction Update — Friday, May 15

Work update: Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) reports wet site conditions which are hampering excavation and debris movement efforts. Crews today are focused on tasks not affected by weather and ground conditions, and all necessary equipment has been brought on site. 

As of 12:00 p.m. today, no ground movement has been detected.

Revised construction time estimate: Site assessments and work plans have continued to be refined, and as a result, while no firm estimate is known today, MOTT now expects the work required to create a stable two-lane temporary access road surface to be completed in several days, depending on weather and site conditions. 

No road access updates are expected until Sunday or Monday at the earliest, pending work at the site.
