Toronto, November 22, 2006 – Breakwater Resources Ltd. (TSX: BWR) /CNW/ … Breakwater has been advised by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation that the work on the temporary bridge over the Thelwood Creek is progressing well, and it is anticipated that the work will be complete on November 24, 2006. Without access to the bridge, operations remain temporarily suspended at Breakwater's Myra Falls' site.
