Draft prescriptions have been developed for Branches 01, 03 and 04, with the work tentatively scheduled to start in the summer of 2025. A map of the planned work and deactivation prescription can be reviewed:

Idaho Lookout FSR 3108.01 (December 4, 2024)
The Idaho Lookout FSR has been closed since June of 2020 due to fill slope failures and culvert washouts. The Selkirk District is currently doing engagement on options that are being considered to reestablish access to Idaho Lookout. The options were developed in conjunction with the Ministry of Forests Engineering Branch, along with input from the Selkirk Resource District Engineering department. Ground truthing and feasibility studies have been completed over the last couple of years to identify the most reasonable options to reestablish access to Idaho Lookout.

For location information and proposed routes, view the map  (PDF, 810KB) or download the .kml file (700KB) to open the map in Google Earth. (Visit Google Earth Help for instructions under the "Open local kml files" heading.)

The current options are:

• Option 1 – A new bridge installed that would cross Carpenter Creek 2.5 km downstream of the current Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) access to Sandon. There would be 4.3 km of new road construction before the road would connect with the current FSR at 4.5 km
• Option 2 – A new bridge installed crossing Carpenter Creek, and the road would connect with the MoTI access road to Sandon approximately 100 m from Highway 31A. There would be ten kilometres of new road, including fourteen switchbacks before the road would reconnect with the existing FSR
• Option 3 – This would be the same new bridge as Option 4, and there would be 8.7 km of new road built with fifteen switchbacks and four gulley crossings, before reconnecting with the existing FSR
• Option 4 - Repair the FSR in its current location where is has failed. This would also require private land acquisition that the road is currently in trespass on
• Option 5 - Close and discontinue the FSR. This would require full road deactivation to the end of the FSR and Idaho Lookout would no longer be accessible
