Portion of Nestucca National Backcountry Byway Road Closure Begins June 6th
UPDATED 6/24/24: The dates of the closure have been adjusted to reflect an updated work schedule.
Carlton, Ore. — In the interest of public safety, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will temporarily close a section of the Nestucca Access Road, starting June 20, 2024. The Nestucca Access Road will be closed to through-traffic at mile-post 15.1, just east of Elk Bend Campground, and at mile-post 11.9, just west of Fan Creek Campground.
During the closure, which will last through August 9, 2024, BLM contractors will repair a failed portion of the road, and repair a large stream culvert (Davidson Culvert).
“By repairing the road and making improvements to the inlet of Davidson Culvert, we will make the Nestucca Access Road safer for the public,” said Janet Satter, BLM Tillamook Field Manager.
The Nestucca Access Road is part of the Nestucca National Backcountry Byway. The Byway is a loop between Beaver and Carlton that includes the Nestucca Access Road, Bible Creek Access Road, and Bald Mountain Road.
During the closure, other portions of the Byway will remain open and will be available as a detour route.
Please follow safety and road closure signs and use the designated detour routes.
