For those of you planning on visiting the area to camp, hunt, fish, and/or just to enjoy the area, the Salmon River Road may have changed since your last visit, so please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is a glance at the week of March 16th to March 20th showing the ‘revised’ mid-day road opening/closure times:
Narrow and slick conditions call for slow hauling of backfill material
