Hi Everyone,
The Devil’s Boot timber sale will shortly begin hauling out of Browns Camp through the campground and out Beaver Dam Road. Part of the sale includes telephone pole harvest so extremely long log loads will be leaving the forest.
In order to reduce the potential for conflict and accidents ODF has put some temporary traffic control policies into place. First, parking along Beaver Dam Road between Highway 6 and Browns Camp will be allowed weekends only. Additionally, a one-way traffic pattern has been set up for Beaver Dam and University Falls Roads, this one-way patter will be in effect until further notice.
Traffic Pattern:
· ALL incoming traffic on Beaver Dam Road drop right onto University Falls Road at the split then come up and back onto Beaver Dam Road at the intersection by the Beaver Dam Rock pit so traffic headed for Browns Camp will turn left and other traffic can turn right and continue up on Beaver Dam Road. Folks headed to Stagecoach drop onto University Falls Road and follow the signs as usual.
· Traffic exiting the forest on either U-Falls from Stagecoach Horse Camp or Beaver Dam will be routed so they leave via Beaver Dam Road.
· Map attached.
Detour signs will be posted by Wednesday afternoon. Please spread the word!
Thanks!
