Regardless why it closes almost the entire trail, how it is closed is a good question. Unless there is seriously bylaw enforcement and 100 excavators working day and night, people will do whatever they want.

Will be a dangerous situation for those walking along these closed areas with all those Volvo trucks loaded with gravel going along the trails, some move at a good clip.

I'd imagine private security contractors and tow trucks will be there to control access.

perfect season to drift the lower river in a raft. Might find places all to yourself if that is at all possible

Rafts coming down the river, jets going up the river, it'll be a party. ;D

would this work completely change the runs that we've been fishing in the past 2 seasons? especially those sediment removal area marked on the map, they're the most crowded runs...

Except for the fact that all the heavy equipment is going to cause the lower river to go silty much of the time.

Maybe the reality is no equipment show up in days. That is usually how government work conducted.

Work was slated to begin yesterday, some local could take a look at the closures and if they've started work

Honestly I'm sure petr will have a video out in the 1st week of september to comment on the conditions and closures, which I would say is before majority of the people have started the season

Ah, gravel extraction......... Funny how everyone cares when they cant access their favorite location, but care nothing about the principles of it.
Dredge the Somas mud if your worried about flooding, but is it really about flooding or just lining  pockets with money?
