Thank you! So we should expect that detour route to be rougher than usual. We are driving in to Bamfield Aug 13 and are planning to take that route.

Always our routine. Momma has been waiting for a few years now to take the grandkids to Goats on the roof and a couple other places in the area. We usually stay over one night in Parksville then get up in the morning and hit PNT then Goats on the way through. This year we are spending a couple days in the area before we head to the west side. I was able to find secure storage for the boat for a couple nights so we can run around and I don’t have to worry about the boat being safe. Then we will be up early and get through on the road first thing in the morning. Will put us in Ukee early but thats ok. We can stop along the way, kids can play in the creek some, I always hit the car wash in Ukee with the boat before I launch it, get the bugs and road grime off it so I don't have to look at a dirty boat for a week. It will all work out in the end.

Backed up from Angel Rock right to The Hump headed east today.
Sat for 2.5 hours to make it through the 11:30 Westbound opening.
What a cluster****.
Thanks to the NDP for NOT putting the damn fire out when it was first reported, and spitting at it instead.
KeRist!

Eastbound Traffic backed up from Angel Rock right into town, well below Canadian Tire on Johnston Road.
Dead Standstill.
Wonder how bad the other side is?
And now they are saying September before it will be open.
Didn't want to spend the coin to put the damn fire out when first reported.
Now one hell of a lot of inconvenience and economic losses to 4 towns that entirely surpass what the firefighting effort would have cost.
Totally Incompetent!

Nothing on the Drive BC website, people trying to decide whether to cancel reservations or not. We just booked another night for late August, but having customers abandon their reservations while travelling is devastating when businesses are trying to rebuild after covid.

Maybe it's just the lineup for BC ferries .

Nope. That is the line-up cue to pass the "construction zone" on Hwy 4.

Apparently it was closed altogether due a crane needing repairs.

A portion of the only paved route to Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino shut down due to high winds late on Tuesday, leading to an increased risk of rockfall.
