Thanks to Chuck Townsend for the latest Hurley update. Just took the Hurley out from the Bralorne on Sunday, Aug 29th. The East Hurley is pretty much the same as it was on my last trip over (in early July). Good for the most part with a few pot holes and rougher sections. The main Hurley (starting…

With Road 40 on non essential travel restrictions due to the McKay Creek fire, the Hurley is experiencing heavier than usual traffic in both directions. The switchbacks from Pemberton are rough but the rest of the road is ok. The burned truck is still sitting on the side of the road. The grader is still…

The Hurley is being graded and there have been a lot of flat tire reports. One person witnessed 4 cars all with flats in one drive! Please slow down for the grader operator and make sure you have visual contact before passing in a safe area.  Thanks to Paul for the latest report from today….

Thanks to Chuck for the latest Hurley update: Came over the Hurley from Bralorne via the east Hurley this morning.

Not graded.  Switchbacks normal. Lillooet River FSR good condition.  Great news from Goat Mountain Produce on the Pemberton side of the Hurley. They…

Thanks to Jacob Oswald for the first Hurley photos of the year! The road has been plowed and it’s rough so drive slow and give the machinery working some space. The grader is working from Green Mountain to the East Hurley steel bridge. The road is narrow, please stay on your side of the road…
