PRINCE GEORGE – Heavy rainfall and frost-related damage on some sections of the Omineca forest service roads have resulted in forest service roads being closed to most industrial vehicles. The closures are an effort to prevent further deterioration of road surfaces and to help keep motorists safe.

Traffic on all forest service roads within the Omineca Natural Resource Region was restricted to use by vehicles under 3,500 kilograms as of midnight on May 6, 2021.

Included in the region are the Mackenzie Natural Resource District, the Stuart Nechako Natural Resource District and the Prince George Natural Resource District.

However, the use of Omineca FSRs will allow for the following purposes:

– Road maintenance

– Tree planting

– Recreational vehicle use (but not recommended, due to poor road conditions)

– Grocery, fuel and other essential deliveries to communities

Members of the public driving vehicles weighing less than 3,500 kilograms should avoid using FSRs in the Omineca Natural Resource Region until road conditions improve, including over the Victoria Day long weekend.
