CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C.- Road access across the John Hart Dam is going to partially open next month. It’ll be the first time in three years that public vehicle traffic will go across the dam.
BC Hydro says Brewster Lake Road will be open on weekends and statutory holidays starting on April 30th. It’ll remain closed from 8:30am to 3:30pm on weekdays until the end of May.
BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson says the company committed to reopening the road after three years and is trying to keep that promise even though there’s still work to do on the dam. The project remains on schedule to be finished in the fall.
Drivers keep in mind that the old road access to Elk Falls beside the John Hart Dam has been permanently closed off and that access to Elk Falls and the suspension bridge is through the new road.
