- Document Description
- Proposed project will prohibit vehicle use of a portion of Usal Road CR 431, yearly during the winter months, typically from November 15th through April 15th. Actual closure date will be determined by the County Road Commissioner based upon seasonal conditions. The road will be closed to vehicular traffic by installing one locking gate across the road at each end of a segment of Usal Road. The road closure would block off approximately 18 miles of Usal Road between the Four Corners intersection and Hotel Gulch. The first gate will be placed northeast of Hotel Gulch leaving access to Usal Beach and campground from State Hwy 1. The second gate will be placed south of Briceland Road allowing access to Bear Harbor Campground, Shelter Cove, and the Kings Range from Shelter Cove Road and Redway. Warning signs will be placed near the Hotel Gulch, and the Briceland Road intersections advising drivers of the narrow road conditions and restricted turn-around space. This section of Usal Road is zoned for Timber Production and there are no residences located between the proposed gates.
