Road closure dates firmed up

September 27, 2013
By Michael Meier
Boundary County Public Information

Firm dates for two road closures are now established. Lion's Den Road will be closed beginning Monday, September 30, and will remain closed for three to four weeks. Access to Snow Creek will remain open from the south only.

Only the northernmost one mile of Lion's Den Road will be closed. There are no residences on this segment.

Of more impact is the Deep Creek Project, which will close the Deep Creek Loop Road at the north end at the junction with Highway 95 adjacent to Mirror Lake Golf Course.

This closure begins Monday, October 7, and is expected to last three weeks.

During this period, the only access to the Deep Creek, Ruby Creek, Moravia and Snow Creek Areas will be via Pleasant Valley and Lookout View Roads.

Meanwhile, the bridge project on Deep Creek Loop two miles north of Naples is on track and possibly a little ahead of schedule with the bridge now in place and paving tentatively scheduled for the third week in October. It is possible the south end of Deep Creek could open a little ahead of schedule, but no guarantees.

There is still a lot to do.

Please respect the speed limits and safety of others along the detour route. It should only be a few weeks and after that we will have some nice improvements in place.
