Yep, pretty easy to block three roads into jasper. How many times was hwy 16 closed last year because of fires and they were quickly opened again before any residents were back in their homes in Edson, Etc.
Last I heard the road will be opened to commercial trucks only.🤦🏻‍♂️ when that will be? Its the Feds, everything is slow when it comes to them unless its a new tax or a gun grab.
IMO Anyone passing through should have the ability to do so, hwy 93 is not important so that can stay closed for as long as they like.


Edit, isn’t there a fire on another section of 16 around mount Robson?


not that im aware of, the highway guys tell me that stretch is good to go from jasper west

What makes you "commercial traffic"? What if my truck is registered as a commercial truck, am I allowed to go through as commercial traffic?
