Today, 20-Oct-2015, both access roads to the FoxCreek community – Old Kettle Rd from Mill Village to the Fox Creek turnaround
– Medway Harbour Rd, from Hwy 331 to the turnaround
have been scraped.
The roads look much smoother than when done in Spring and the pot holes are gone. However please be still careful driving these roads for the time being as the gravel is still loose and your car might swerve.
Remember, the speed limit on Old Kettle Rd and Medway Harbour Dr. is 50km/h.
In the interest of road maintenance please keep to 30km/h on all gravel roads within the FoxCreek community.
This has the additional benefit of less wear & tear on your car’s tires and underbody. Not to mention – on dry days – less kicked up dust.
