BLM Forest Road Closures


Two Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roads are closed and several more damaged after last week’s storm dumped more than nine inches of rain on some forests in the area. Wells Creek Road, off Highway 38 east of Reedsport, is closed indefinitely at milepost 2.5 due to a slide. Burnt Mountain Tie Road, east of Coquille, will be inaccessible for one to two weeks due to a slump. BLM road crews continue to assess roads for damage and updates on forest road conditions will be provided as information becomes available. Those traveling to the woods should use caution, and expect to encounter down trees and rocks on forest roads in the area.
