Location and preliminary options map

Durrell Road Map Presents 2 options for moving the road for discussion and the area of the landslide

Durrell Road is located approximately 14 km south of Quesnel.


Status

Durrell Road remains closed at the slide area and is not accessible to traffic. Concrete barriers have been installed to block vehicles from using the closed road. An alternate route for residents on either side of the slide area provides access to Highway 97. Long-term restoration options are currently being explored to determine a safe and climate resilient solution.

Work includes:

  • Option development
  • Environmental reviews and on-site inspections
