Work begins to clear only winter road into Atlanta

Friday, October 10, 2014

Highway crews have begun work to clear the slides that have blocked the Boise River Road.

The Atlanta Highway District began temporary repairs last week along a six-mile section of the Middle Fork Boise River road that was washed out by a late summer mudslide at Big Five Creek (mile marker 38).

A gated closure is in place due to planned heavy construction traffic between mile marker 34 (Loftus Hot Springs) and mile marker 40 (Alexander Flat and the Road Creek trail just west of the junction of Forest Road 376).

I saw that it was going to cost $500,000 to clear the road. That's a pretty high cost per resident that we taxpayers are paying.
