The road across Strathcona Dam will close from November 6 to 15, during weekdays

October 30, 2024

The road across the Strathcona Dam will be closed from Nov. 6 to 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The closure will only be on weekdays. After Nov. 15, the road will return to single-lane alternating traffic across the dam until April 2025 due to construction work. New signage warning drivers of construction will also be updated on the road.

The work continues the early works for the upcoming Strathcona Dam Water Discharge Upgrade Project. BC Hydro is constructing temporary spillway gate control facilities, including a temporary control building, on the top of the earthfill dam. The reason for the eight days of road closure is worker safety. BC Hydro has some upcoming work where the proximity of the traffic would be too close to the work area. It is a narrow road crossing over the dam.
