Route 148 is now reopened.

Culvert repairs on route 148 near Nugent's were completed by August 30 (before then there was a 3 km detour by way of Parker, McKibbon and Curley).

Updated 1 September 2011.


According to LeDroit, 30 July, the washout on 24 June made a hole 3.6 metres wide and nearly 20 m deep, cutting highway 148. Repairs are expected to cost $2 million.

Le glissement de terrain survenu le 24 juin a créé un trou de 3,6 mètres de diamètre et d’une profondeur de près de 20 m, emportant avec lui un morceau de la route 148. Les travaux sont évalués à 2 millions $.
