Residents in South Quesnel are being advised that Gook Road near the Dragon Creek Dam will be closed for the next few days.
The road and provincial dam will undergo scheduled and routine maintenance in accordance with the provincial dam safety regulations.
Access to Quesnel Hydraulic Road from Gook Road will be unavailable all day on each day from September 23 to September 25.
The City of Quesnel says residents in the area will have to detour by going to the Highway 97 and Gook Road intersection.
The City is also taking this opportunity to look into replacing the dam’s gate structure in the coming year. The current gate structure has been in service for nearly 60 years.
