Boys Camp Road Temporary Bridge Update

For those who live beyond Boys Camp Road, you are aware that a temporary bridge has been planned.  A gravel bridge will be built next week in the same location as the temporary ford.  

• The temporary bridge will include 5 culverts and it will be elevated above the water.   
• Crews will be working to level out the bridge so it has less of an incline.
• Constructing the bridge will take about 48 hours and the road will not be passable during this time.
• The Fire Department will stage emergency vehicles beyond the bridge to provide support as needed during the 48 hour timeframe.  
• The date for the road closure and construction will be confirmed as soon as possible. 
• We are currently awaiting materials to begin the project and confirm the date for the temporary road closure. 

Additionally, we are obtaining design specifications for a permanent Boys Camp Road Bridge.  

Thank you for your patience as we work through the recovery process.
