Category: Hurley Road Updates

A big weather system is coming tomorrow with 20mm of rain in the forecast. If that falls as snow on the Hurley it could be the end of the driving season. Thanks to Sal Demare for today’s update. Drove the Hurley this morning to go to a SLRD Board meeting. The grading that has been…

Thanks to Charles Evans for today’s update. Went over north to south around 1pm today, not much traffic. +2c at the summit light flurries.  Snow on the road started a few km before the summit, gave way to dirt ruts well before 11km marker on Pemberton side.  Only 14 Modo cars in Semaphore parking lot….

Thanks to Debbie Demare for the afternoon update. Summit 0 degrees at 3 pm, quickly above Freezing either side. Muddy ruts most of the way except for a km or so at the summit. Fair amount of traffic valley bound. Grader is working the lower switchbacks on the Pemberton side. Thanks to Roger Stacey for…

As of Sunday 23rd the road surface was still too warm to hold much snow and most of it is melting on contact or soon after. But this is the time of the year when things can change rapidly and we rely on user road reports to keep everyone informed. The road was graded last…

Thanks to Chuck for the latest Hurley update from September 23rd. E Hurley was decent for the E Hurley. The Main Hurley starting from the steel bridge was ok with some rough then smoother sections. The summit is getting a bit rougher along with the big hill compared to the last time I came up…

The annual Slow Food Cycle is on this Sunday August 21st. The Pemberton Meadows Road will be closed from 10am – 3pm so plan on driving the Hurley outside of those times. Click here for more info. This site is based on Hurley driver updates so please email new road conditions to info@bridgerivervalley.ca or post…

A third round of Forest Employment Program funding will be used starting in August to provide road bed material.  The new funding will see two areas for pits created on each side of the summit, grinders brought in and road bed created and laid down.  The funding is $400,000.  The bids will be out in August…

Grading is underway on the Hurley and the first 6km from Gold Bridge was done yesterday. Please respect the machines working and pass responsibly when they have seen you. Grading exposes sharp rocks and increases the chance of flat tires so be prepared! Thanks to Chuck for this latest update. Just came down the Hurley…

The East Hurley washout from the last post has been repaired and the road is open. Thanks to Dan for the latest update and photos. Hurley road conditions are fine. Lillooet River is high. Currently raining, expect mud and slippery conditions. This site is based on Hurley driver updates so please email new road conditions…

Update July 1st – The east Hurley washout has been fixed and is open! The latest Hurley update and photos are in! Thanks to Carol and Richard for sending it in. The road will be busy this weekend so take your time and enjoy the view. Safe travels to all! We had a message from…

Thanks to Debbie Demare for the Hurley update: Dry with potholes and mud in summit area. Large sections graded and reasonable shape on rest. Lots of traffic at 3 pm on a Thursday. The 3 washouts on lower switchbacks (same creek) have been roughly fixed ( last fall). Thanks to Chris Winter for the East Hurley…

Plowing went better than expected today and Bridge River Valley Mechanical Contracting has completed snow clearing and the Hurley is open! It is 4×4 only and not suitable for trailers until it fully melts out. The road is single lane with pullouts for 4.8km so drive slow and expect oncoming traffic. The crew will be…

Plowing has started on the Hurley but it is not open yet. Please do not attempt to drive it until the contractor gives us the go ahead. Bridge River Valley Mechanical is the contractor this year and they are working hard to get it done. There is still a lot of snow at the summit…

Sal Demare advised us that the contractor will start grading and plowing the Hurley on Monday. Please do not attempt to drive it until further notice. The snow is still too deep at the summit and you will get stuck. Also please don’t drive up to see how the work is going, it will be…

Latest update from FLNRO via Sal Demare. “We are in the process of actioning the grading and plowing contracts for the Hurley. The Avy tech said the avalanche hazard has reduced to a point that the equipment can now start operating on the FSR. By June 11th the hazard will be acceptably low for the…
