PROVIDENCE CANYON ROAD WORK BEGINS - AREA CLOSED TO ALL USES
LOGAN, UT – September 5, 2012 – The Forest Service has received the Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads (ERFO) funding and the repair work will begin the week of September 10th. Therefore, the Providence Canyon Road will be closed to all uses starting Monday, September 10, 2012 through the early part of November. The purpose for the closure is to provide for public safety while construction crews and equipment are repairing the Providence Canyon Road. Providence Canyon road was damaged due to flooding in the spring of 2011 and has been closed only to motorized use since July 1, 2011, which will remain in effect until Monday, September 10th.
The closure goes along Providence Canyon Road (Forest Service Road # 20090) including 500 feet on either side of the road (including the Providence Trail) from the barriers located approximately 0.4 miles from the Forest Boundary. The closure of Providence Canyon Road (Forest Service Road #20090) continues approximately 2 miles east to the junction with the Providence Canyon 4x4 Road (Forest Service Road # 20022).
