BRSA UPDATE : 12:28 PM 27-11-2011
I just got back from driving the road to Sarita Lake and all seems fine now. There are no doubts that water was across the road but it has now drained and the road is good. The river is up to the edge of the road and we should expect flooding problems at the high tide times. Efforts should be made to avoid driving at or around high tide, and time given to let the water levels drop. As always, living on the Sarita River flood plain we need to expect some flooding and especially during high rainfall events and high tides. Always expect the so called unexpected on the Bamfield Road. The maintenance providers are out on the road and doing inspections, along with any required cleanups and work to keep the road open. If you see a problem, report it to me as soon as you can so we can keep everyone updated. You can also post your updates on our “facebook” page. (Bamfield road info)
