Scheduled for completion by fall 2023, the section will bypass the active slide areas along the washed-out portions.
?Esdilagh First Nation has an agreement with the ministry to clear the site in preparation for major road construction. The logging works underway began in February.
As well, the banks of Narcosli Creek will be protected with riprap (large rocks) to prevent further damage from the coming spring freshet, and that work is underway through hired local equipment.
In April 2018, high water from the spring freshet caused Narcosli Creek to erode five sections of West Fraser Road on the west side of the Fraser River, about 17 kilometres south of Quesnel. The road had to be closed due to the severe damage.
