Thread: Mt. Currie to Duffey Lake under construction

I cant wait for this... Duffy lake paved is like a glimpse of riding heaven __________________ An awkward morning beats a boring night at home.

From the brush clearing I saw, it appears that the entire section from the fun part up Mt. Currie all the way to the lake will be repaved. The map I posted is pretty close to 30km. As has been pointed out, only about 1/3 has had the pavement removed so far, but it looks like a total of 30km of pavement will be removed (roadwork signs indicate 30km). Also, the new road will follow exactly the old road. For those who like tight corners,...

Good info, but please remember to put a date in the post. In the future that will make it much easier to weed out what is still relevant I've gone ahead and modified the title. Thanks.
