Scaling work is ongoing and large amounts of debris are being removed at Cameron Lake Bluffs on Highway 4.
Rock scaling is a complex and labour-intensive process and can only be done in daylight and during favourable weather. To accommodate a dozen refrigerator-sized boulders to be removed, there will be added closures to this stretch of highway on August 17 and August 24 from 8:30 am - 9 pm.
In addition to these closures, the highway will continue to be closed Mondays through Fridays, twice daily from 9-11:30 am and 1:30-5 pm.
Outside of these closures, the area will be OPEN to single-lane alternating traffic. The detour route also remains OPEN.
Highway 4 is now expected to fully reopen to two-way traffic at the end of August.
Travellers should be prepared for possible unplanned closures and, in advance of their travel, check DriveBC.ca for the most up-to-date information.

One weekend, during Beloit College's reconstruction of the WP&L Blackhawk Generating Plant, it became an "Art Hangout." Alumni Amanda Browder's ('98) colorful large-scale fabric installation - “Power Plant Beloit” - was unveiled in the Powerhouse.

The building started life 100 years ago or so as a coal-fired electricity generating power plant, fueling the manufacturing boom in Beloit in the first half of the 20th Century. Beloit College, its partners, and sponsors are converting the plant into a Student Union and Recreation Center. The first such conversion and re-use of this kind of old industrial building IN THE WORLD.
What big birds these were, not quite on the scale of the albatross, but alamost, and such distinctive noses!
Also known as the Hall's Giant Petrel, is a large seabird of the southern oceans. Its distribution overlaps broadly with the similar Southern Giant Petrel, though it overall is centered slightly further north. The Northern Giant Petrel along with its counterpart, the Southern Giant Petrel, make up the Macronectes genus. They come from the Procellariiformes order, which are referred to as tube-nosed seabirds, due to their unique nose structure. All Tube-noses have tubular nostrils, and all Procellariidae have the openings on top of the upper portion of the bill. Procellariiformes also have between seven and nine distinct horny plates for their bill, and Petrels have one of these plates that form the hooked portion of their upper bill called their maxillary unguis. They produce a stomach oil made up of wax esters and triglycerides that is stored in the proventriculus. This is used against predators as well as an energy rich food source for chicks and for the adults during their long flights. Finally, they also have a salt gland that is situated above the nasal passage and helps desalinate their bodies, due to the high amount of ocean water that they imbibe. It excretes a concentrated saline solution from their nostrils. The Northern Giant Petrel averages 90 cm (35 in) in length. Its plumage consists of grey-brown body with lighter coloured forehead, sides of face, and chin. Its bill is between 90–105 mm (3.5–4.1 in) long and is pinkish yellow with a brown tip, and its eyes are grey. The juvenile of this species is completely dark brown and lightens as it ages. It can be differentiated from the similar coloured Southern Giant Petrel by the top of the bill, which on the southern is green.
