Bend, Oregon – Approximately ten miles of Forest Service (FS) Roads 4601 and 370 will be
temporarily closed for maintenance next Wednesday through Friday. Portions of road
from the Happy Valley area on FS Road 370 east to the 4601/4602 junction, and from the
370/4601 junction north to FS Road 16 near the Three Creeks Lake area will be closed.
Work to be done on these popular routes before winter includes removal of dead trees for
safety along the roadside and reinforcement of drainage structures. This maintenance
work aims to improve these routes both as roads and as snowmobile trails for the months
to come.
Road crews will manage as best they can to have one road section open while another one
is closed. These roads connect to Todd Lake and FS Road 46, to the Sisters Three Creeks
Lake area and to the Skyliner area. Access to any of these destinations could be blocked
off by the maintenance operations during that time period.
Road managers are scheduling so as to have the least impact on hunters and
recreationists.
