Update for December 10, 2009
For the week of December 14th to December 18th the Contractor will be working days. The Contractor plans on continuing work at Wall 6 along with continued slope work on the upper end of the project.
There is no night work planned for this week.
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 and temporary traffic signals placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
Here is a glance at the week of December 14th through December 18th showing the schedule for road openings / closures
