Update for July 23, 2009
Be aware of the summer road opening/closure times so it does not interfere with your travel plans. Check out the Travel Info section on the website for the full monthly schedule(s).
For the week of July 27th to July 31st the Contractor plans working Monday night through Thursday night.
The Contractor will continue to install rebar, placing formwork, and pouring concrete for sections of the stem wall @ Wall 10. At Wall 11 they will be installing rebar and placing formwork for sections of the stem wall. At Wall 3 the Contractor plans on starting formwork for the wall footings.
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 July 27th through July 31st showing the summer schedule for road openings / closures:

If you are in the Riggins area on Friday the 24th and/or Saturday the 25th and if the Salmon River Road construction is not enough excitement for you then plan on attending the Annual Riggins “Hot Summer Nights”.
