Effective Friday, May 8, the Seal Bay forest access road near Robert’s Arm will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice. Temporary forest access road closures at this time of year are required to protect roads from vehicular damage during spring thaw.

The forest access road will remain open to snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles; however, individuals using these modes of transportation are expected to adhere to physical distancing protocols established by the provincial Chief Medical Officer of Health. This closure will not impact commercial forestry operators in the area.

For further information, please call the Forestry and Wildlife district office in Springdale at 709-673-3821.
