As we witness the effects of climate change across the province, the Cariboo is being particularly hard hit by changing weather patterns. The very wet spring and summer months of the past couple of years, combined with the snow melt and impacts of wildfires, has brought more water into the ground than normal and caused unprecedented slides and road washouts in 2020 and 2021.
Slides are complex and challenging to mitigate. They are often massive and extremely difficult to stabilize.
The Cariboo Road Recovery Projects are being undertaken to address the transportation impact at these 10 major locations (see map below):
Over the coming months project teams will be engaging with communities, local governments, First Nations, and stakeholders to discuss the potential transportation solutions at each project site.
