Latest Information about the road in

Routes into Seymour Arm
There are different routes into Seymour Arm but only one is maintained and remains open year round. This road is named the Seymour Arm Main Road. It connects with the outside world at St. Ives kilometre zero, and terminates at kilometre forty one where you would make a right hand turn and proceed into the community of Seymour Arm. This road is maintained by the forestry of British Columbia. It is posted as using VHF radio communication at frequency 157.32. Please arrange to call your location periodically if you have this equipment. Coming in you would call at the start “0” (or zero) up the Seymour Arm Main. There could be logging trucks, fuel trucks, vacationers with extreme RV’s out there and although fairly wide in most areas, we still have points with restrictive clearance. The road conditions are posted on this SACA site, the Seymour Arm News, web site and at locations in Seymour Arm Itself. (example, Postal box bulletin board.)
Currently we have had a major road upgrade with new crush and calcium applied as top layers and packed in. With the extensive rainfall this November many potholes are developing. Plan currently is for another application of crush in the spring when conditions permit.

Seymour Arm community roads.
These roads are maintained by Argo maintenance. They grade them as required and each year makes a dust control application. This year they also placed many more road name signs.
We are hoping next year for more coverage in their dust control application and also have requested further road signage being done.

As always these roads are kept up to maintain safe operating conditions. Please do your part to ensure a safe and memorable holiday is had by all.
