Townsend Ranger District began work last Wednesday and will continue until September 15 to stabilize the roadbed and replace culverts along Duck Creek Road in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. The Duck Creek Road turnoff from Highway 284 is approximately 15 miles from Townsend on the east side of Canyon Ferry Reservoir.
A contractor began culvert replacement between milepost 9.7 and milepost 11. Work was originally planned for late August. It was pushed forward due to the inability to obtain the necessary supplies for the job.
During the Woods Creek fire, many of the culverts that supported water flow under the roadbed were damaged. District Ranger Aaron Webber said. “This project will help restore their function and stabilize the road.”
The closure order and map will be posted at HTTPS://https://www.fs.usda.gov/hlcnf under “alerts and notices.”
