Thanks for that info. Was going to head out in the morning but think I may just do a 3 day trip sometime next week. I want to get out and break in the new sled.

Does anyone know if there were any fatalities? We passed the scene just minutes after it had happened. What a mess. Our thoughts and prayers to the people and families envolved.

 

[ZRrrr]

From what I read it was 2 semis that hit each other and both drivers sustained serious injuries. Did not see any reports of fatalities.

we had to drive around it from golden, took five plus hours through radium to calgary after riding all day....

the guy at the closure said there was a fatality not sure how acurate that is,, all the best to people involved

came back sunday nite, was stopped just before the bridge west of field as they were dragging one semi out of the embankment. tore the cab right off the frame, he didn't make it, and the flagman said that 3 more were killed the day before, for a total of 4. he was thinking about getting a better job. drive safe, 4 wheel drive doesn't get u a get out of jail pass. just more control.

another crazy story was on 25th at 6am on donald bridge As east bound semi lost control and hit bridge and then sec.one hit first semi sending it in columbia river 100 feet down and 2 lived, speed was factor there.......bet it smelled like sh$t in cab

 

[raceu4it]

yeah, saw that the side rails were punched out again, man those poor fish down below must hate seeing 20 tonnes dropping over the bridge in to there breeding habitat.

 

[Carbon]

they break ground in spring for the new bridge.will elimanate some of this,oo goody gooody

We left Revy Saturday instead of our planned Sunday just because the roads looked like "things were gonna happen". My partner and I had 2 great days of riding, woke up Sat AM to zero vis, and we decided to make tracks. We went through Field at 10am or so. Roger's pass even had many of the usually very fast moving semis slowed down and chained up. Was glad for 4 studded tires for sure.
