Temporary Road Closure of Caribou Pass Road

The Bonners Ferry Ranger District announces the temporary closure of Forest Service Road 1007, Caribou Pass Road. The closure will be from Oct. 1 through Oct. 4, 2013, and again Oct. 7 through Oct. 11, 2013 to allow visitor access along the road during the weekend.

This closure will temporarily restrict motorized access to the Roman Nose Trail head. This closure is necessary to allow the replacement of numerous wooden culverts that are failing, to repair and fill failures in two locations and to reconstruct a segment of road. This closure will provide the opportunity to upgrade critical stream crossings, reducing the risk of road failure and improving the road surface.

This project is a partnership with the Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative and the Idaho Panhandle National Forest for the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration project.
