Road resurfacing project planned for Rock Creek Road
The Lolo National Forest will begin a large road improvement project in July on Rock Creek Road, Forest Road 102.
This $1.8 million project, funded by the Legacy Restoration Fund established by the 2020 Great American Outdoors Act, will address the condition of the road by resurfacing it with new gravel and improving drainage features. These changes will benefit forest visitors and Rock Creek residents and business patrons, as well as reduce sediment transport and improve stream conditions for aquatic species, including threatened bull trout.
The work will take place along the entire length of the Forest Service portion of the road within the Missoula Ranger District, which stretches between mile markers 11 and 31. The gravel placement is anticipated to begin at the North end of the road and proceed to the South.
