After a long slow process of re-plowing after the last snow storm, the road crews have been able to plow to Toklat to allow West B&U to start opening Toklat road camp. This has allowed the contractor to get started on the repair work at Pretty Rocks slump. The contractor started hauling material from the pit at Toklat on the 23rd of April. Barring any unforeseen events the contractor should make good progress over the next few weeks.
