Active working truck on the way out at 1 pm.
New gate still unlocked as of Apr. 22. Lots of working activities and one sign indicated closure from 8-noon, 1-6 pm M-F or something like that. I nevertheless drove out at 1:20 pm and was not affected. The status of this road could change from day to day and hour to hour so best is to have a contingency plan

One of several new temporary bridges, silt fencing installed
Tree clearing near the start, notice how smooth the road is here
Looks like the work crew used 3" minus rock to raise the road here. There were just a few sections where it wasn't very well compacted but not difficult to pass
I expect this road may be closed to the public very soon. First few KM have been graded so smooth they might as well be paved, I think this is to get to a new office compound. New (unlocked for now) gate at 3.5km & some trees have recently been cut from the sides of the road. Lots of light vehicle construction traffic on this busy Saturday, everyone calling out KM over VHF, radio handy to have as it was very dusty (lights on) so good to know where other vehicles are. Heavy machinery was parked & idle but may be working during the week so beware. No huge obstacles but some small shallow creek crossings & a few sections with loose 3" rock. There was a large cleared staging area at KM29.5, I drove as far as the SAR station opposite the Wigwam Inn. Nothing to stop an SUV making it but I'd recommend decent tires, a full size spare & / or tire repair kit. I found this morning that I must've got a slow puncture on one of my 10-ply A/T tires as it was down to 24psi

[From FortisBC] - FortisBC is enacting safety-related closures on the Stawamus Indian River Forest Service Road as construction on the project continues. These closures will allow crews to carry out continued work on improvements to the forest service road and construction of the gas pipeline. A gate will be installed approximately three kilometres from the road entrance to prevent users from accessing the area during times when construction makes it unsafe to do so. Intermittent closures will start in February 2024 with longer duration closures expected in 2025 and 2026. Signage will be posted at the start of the Stawamus Indian River Forest Service Road and at the closure point, advising the public of the closure hours. We appreciate your patience as we strive to complete this work safely and as quickly as possible.

Road is in fine shape after the rain - most water bars were only a few inches deep and a few others were even dry. All weathered the recent storm well, and the road should be manageable by stock 4WD vehicles and competent drivers. Note that here is road work along with traffic control at around the 2 to 4 kilometre mark. We only waited a couple minutes at either end, but we did overhear on the radio after we passed that they would be stopping traffic for 30 minutes at a crack.

As of the date i went, this road is in good shape, any 4wd (not necessary high clearance) can make it all the way to the end
