Forest Service announces current list of road
closures |
|
March 26, 2018 |
The Bonners Ferry Ranger District is closing the
following roads in Boundary County:
• All of Myrtle Creek Road FSR #633
• Snow Creek Road FSR #402, from FSR #402a to
FSR #2190
• Kootenai Ridge Road, all of Kootenai Ridge
Road FSR #2190
• Placer Creek Connection Road FSR #2541, from
Deer Creek Road FSR # 435 to Deer Ridge Road FSR
#2540
These roads are being closed to prevent damage
to the road due to a soft road bed caused by
snow melt. Additional information and maps for
these closures is available online at
https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/ipnf/alerts-notices.
“We recognize that these closures are an
inconvenience to the public,” said Heather
Degeest, Acting Deputy Forest Supervisor. “The
closure orders will be rescinded as soon as
conditions improve.”
Visitors traveling on forest roads are
encouraged to be mindful of changing conditions
and snow at higher elevations. Excessive
snowmelt causes road shoulders to be “soft” and
unstable. Please avoid driving on soft roads and
be aware that out sloped icy mountain roads can
increase risk of sliding off the road,
particularly when passing another vehicle. For
additional information, or to report new road
damage, please contact your local Ranger
Station. |
