SAFETY ALERT: One Way Traffic in the Chief Lake Area

Several Forest Service Roads (FSR’s) have been given a one way FSR designation in the Chief Lake Area. The term of this designation is through to breakup at this point, but may extend beyond. The one-way designation applies to ALL vehicle traffic. The designated one way FSR’s are the Kay Kay FSR (southwards between 0-12 km), the Hoodoo FSR (northward between 0-4 km, up to the 300 road) and the Reid Lake Connector FSR (eastward between 0-3.5 km). On the map you will see that with the designation of the Kay Kay as one way, effectively so too is the Mandalay in a westward direction. Signs will be posted at the start of the FSRs, but depending on your destination, you may be able to save yourself some travel time if you know in advance.

Please review this Map showing the One Way FSR Locations, and a detailed description of the number of loads that will be hauled out on each road.
