Alert level
Medium

Do not access river areas at this time. 

Vehicle access to the Muskwa River at the Muskwa River Bridge and to the Fort Nelson River beside the P3 Bridge on the Sierra Yoyo Desan (SYD) Road is not advisable right now. With freshet season beginning, melting snowpacks are affecting river levels. There is a risk of rapid rises in water and of ice moving downstream. Please avoid all river areas until conditions stabilize. 

On behalf of the participating government agencies and first responders, thank you for your cooperation and patience. 

Further updates will be posted when available.
