Hello Everyone,
Please see the following information regarding forest management activities that have impacts to recreation. Also, please help to disseminate this information to your larger recreation communities.
In regards to the Big Deal timber sale and associated L-1000N road realignment: The contractor is expecting to begin work on the L-1000 reroute near the L-1070 gate. Utility locating will begin early this week with clearing/construction beginning sometime after as equipment from other projects becomes available. Please spread the word that once work begins there will be traffic delays along the L-1000. This will not only impact through traffic, but also potentially the use of turnout at Cold Creek bridge for mountain bike parking, and upcoming mountain bike events planning to stage there.
In regards to the culvert replacement project that impacts access to Silver Star trailhead from DNR land: The contractor will begin work on the L-1100 culvert replacement early this week. The L-1100 road will be closed to through traffic until the project is complete. The scheduled closure will last two weeks but, due to the extent of the project, delays and an extension of the closure is expected. The closure is just prior to the L-1180 Junction. This project will inhibit access to the Silver Star trailhead from this side.
If you have any questions regarding these projects please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jessica Kimmick
