Little Joe Road closure extended
The closure order for Little Joe Road, Forest Road 282, has been extended to October 1 while contractors replace the culvert at mile post 7.4 with a precast concrete bridge.
Work began in April to resurface the road, improve drainage, and upgrade two stream crossings. The initial work was completed with minor impacts to traffic. A closure order began July 8 closing Little Joe Road, Forest Road 282, from its junction with South Fork Little Joe Road, Forest Road 221, to its junction with Two Mile Road, Forest Road 431. A new closure order, 24-007-Lolo-D7, has been issued extending the road closure until October 1 unless construction is completed sooner.
“We understand that this extension is an inconvenience to many forest visitors and locals,” said Abby Lane, District Ranger for the Superior Ranger District. “The majority of the work on this project has been completed which will have many long-term benefits. Everyone is reminded to respect the closure order and adhere to barriers in place to protect the contractors who are working and visitors.”
