Copper Ridge Road 403 closed

Copper Ridge Road 403, located northeast of Bonners Ferry, on the Bonners Ferry Ranger District, is being closed for public health and safety during road reconstruction activities, from midnight Sunday until midnight Friday of each week. The road will be open to the public for travel on Saturdays and Sundays. This work is scheduled to occur through the month of October.

The closure location is approximately 13 miles up Deer Creek, at the intersection of the Deer Creek Spread Creek Road 435 and Copper Ridge Road 403, and the intersection of Spruce Lake Road 2509 and Copper Ridge Road 403.

The project includes reconstructing approximately five miles of Copper Ridge Road to improve the road surface and drainage, widen turnouts, and remove roadside vegetation to increase visibility. Ditches, culverts and catch basins will also be cleaned. This project will restore safe and improved access for a diverse range of recreational experiences in the upper Deer Creek drainage.

For questions on this project or closure, please contact the Bonners Ferry Ranger Station at 208-267-5561.
