Old Fort Landslide Road Construction Update – May 14, 2026

Old Fort Landslide Road Construction Update — Thursday, May 14

The PRRD is not responsible for any road works within the 119,200 sq km expanse of the regional district. We pass on operational and update messages from the responsible Ministry of Transportation and Transit with their agreement.

Work update: Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MOTT) reported that due to rain today, work at the Old Fort landslide and road construction site had to be discontinued this morning for safety reasons. Site inspections are being carried out, and MOTT intends to restart work at the site at 6:30 a.m., tomorrow, Friday, May 15.

• Construction hours are between 6:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., seven days a week, including over the holiday weekend.
• The work zone has been outlined with snow fencing. No public access through the work zone is permitted. Non-compliance with traffic control and work zone restrictions may result in fines or enforcement action.

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.

The PRRD will provide updates when meaningful news is available to be shared.
