Headed to Alaska?..Highway 97 OPEN

Pine Pass, north of Prince George is closed due to flooding. They have no idea when it will re-open, so..if you are heading for Alaska, hang a left at PG and head for Kitwanga and #37.

    From Grande Prairie, Hwy 2 northbound to Rycroft may be a better route choice than 43 west. Dawson Creek also had some flooding, and last I heard had several single lane stretches over the creek. 2 to 59 will bring you into Dawson east of the Mile Zero traffic circle, while 43 to BC 2 will bring you to the circle from the south. Major road work on the bridge beside the mall.


    We are only going to Grande Prairie, so no problem with the flooding in Dawson.

  • Wow! I knew they were having a lot of rain, but i didn't know it was this bad! Sure wish them luck getting sorted out.
