Road 40 Lillooet to Gold Bridge
101 km 73 km paved 28 km of gravel in 2 stretches some 9% grades well maintained frequently graded & ploughed salted & sanded as required |
Drivers who
love to Drive Beware! You might end up
having a love-affair with Road 40 Road 40 is a wandering mountain road
offering fantastic mountain views and a 45 km drive along the glacial fed
waters of Carpenter Lake Reservoir. The colours of the lake are so
astonishing they take the breath away. The background colours on this sites
pages are inspired by Carpenter Reservoir. To the left is the lake in the
fall. Always look for fallen rock when driving
Road 40, and be especially watch-full after rainfall, winter thaws, and fresh
snow. Avalanche areas are posted. Rock fall can be anything from large
boulders to a rain of small shale. The latter can easily puncture tires. So
pay attention to suggested speed limits along the road; you will likely
regret it if you dont. And enjoy the drive! In the summer of 2005, new pavement was
laid along a 15 km stretch by the lake, adding to the 58 paved kilometres
already in place. There are now only two stretches of gravel. One occurs
between the end of the new pavement, carries on past the dam and the turnoff
to Seton Portage and Shalalth, and into the Bridge River canyon to about 7
kilometres east of the dam. The Seton / Shalalth turnoff (and tunnel) is
approximately midway between Gold Bridge and Lillooet. This section of gravel
is about 15 km long. The other gravelled area occurs between the big
switchback just east of the Yalakom River, and Apple Springs, a lovely creek
17 from Lillooet. This stretch is approximately 11 km long. Beware of hairpin
corners. |
A view of the road along the Bridge River where it meets
the Yalakom. This picture was taken at the top of the big switchback, a
series of 5 hairpin corners and steep grades. Be especially aware of fallen
rock around the lower two 20 km turns. The 2 gravelled sections contain stretches of single lane,
20 to 40 km/hr corners, and steep banks. |
