INCIDENT
Highway 1 Both Directions - Highway 1, in both directions. Avalanche control work planned between Golden Donald Upper Rd and Ten Mile Hill Truck Stop Rd for 15.5 km (Golden to 9 km west of West Boundary of Yoho National Park). Starting Sun Dec 19 at 9:00 AM MST until Sun Dec 19 at 11:00 AM MST. Road closure planned. Detour will not be available. Next update time Sun Dec 19 at 11:00 AM MST. Last updated Sat Dec 18 at 12:01 PM MST. (DBC-36250)
We had a nice 3.7 hour stoppage on the #1 east of Golden last night. We even timed it to be right in the guaranteed open time. But no, no one was moving and we sat on the big bridge (kicking horse?) the entire time. No cell coverage, no way to know what is happening or when we'd be let through, if ever, considering by the time it was cleared we weren't supposed to be able to get through the construction.

Was that due to the semi trucks spun out that figure they don't need chains?
Saw a post on facebook where the boys were stopped, basically at the spun out trucks thru the construction zone of the Kicking Horse Canyon...
So is there pilot cars?
Or just basically flag people on each end.....?
Figure with all the construction, someone would let folks know?
This is why I always ensure fuel tank is full whenever possible......Travelling these zones.
You just never know.
How was the construction coming along?

I was there at the bottom of the hill. What happened was trucker # 1 spunout blocking the road. After an hour or so hi ways moved the barriers blocking access around him. Then dipshit trucker #2,3 4 5 and six that watched number 1 spin out and sat on their asses in their flipflops watching rather than chain up, proceeded to spin out and block the hill.
Kinda like a poo rider trying to pass a doo on the hill climb.

I guess they think they have good winter tires and phuck the chains. Should be fines when chit like that happens.

Crazy amount of Iron up the pass, it would be HUGE crane bills at the end of the job I’d imagine.

Same for Parks roads thru to Radium
I think that is just a beutiful drive.....
Just chill and enjoy the trip.
But when your a trucker and miles, hours and fuel count that I am sure its not pleasurable.

Went to Sicamous last Wednesday to look at a potential job. Got passed twice on a solid double yellow and it wasn’t a process where they were a little short. They started in a solid double yellow and it was like that throughout the whole passing process. A little nervous to say the least.
