Tree removal road closures

A series of closures are scheduled to begin June 30 on Medicine Bow National Forest Road 225 (South French Creek Road) in the Snowy Range.

These temporary closures aid in the safe and efficient removal of hazard trees from roads managed by the Brush Creek-Hayden Ranger District (BCH).

The closures will occur between the junctions of WY Highway 130 and Forest Road 227. Once operations have been completed on that portion of the road, the closure will shift to the next section.

Except for Fourth of July holiday weekend, closures will be continuously in effect all day, every day until Aug. 31. Beginning Sept. 1, closures will be modified to be open during evening and weekends.

Visitors to this part of the Medicine Bow National Forest are encouraged to check the status of work areas by calling 307-326-5258 or stopping by the BCH Ranger District office at 2171 S. Highway 130 in Saratoga between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday this summer.
