FORESTS MINISTER PAT BELL
"The safety of the Finlay Forest Service road is important - especially since it's the only road that provides access to Kwadacha and Tsay Keh," Forests Minister Pat Bell said Thursday.
The project forms a vital link to the Interior since the road has one of the highest levels of usage in the province during normal forestry operations. It is also a gateway to the Muskwa-Kechika Park for outdoor enthusiasts and a route to access mining operations and exploration
areas.
Temporary crossings currently in place will be replaced with permanent bridges. The Finlay Forest Service Road provides access to large area north of the community of Mackenzie including the communities of Kwadacha and Tsay Keh, which have a combined total population of over
600 residents.
The road is also used as a back-up to access Germansen Landing and Manson Creek in the
event of fire.
The work is expected to be complete by mid-December.
There will be no interruptions to road access because the temporary structures are designed to accommodate traffic during construction of the permanent bridges.
