Construction Projects Within Big Horn National Forest Taking Longer To Complete Than Planned

A couple of projects within the Big Horn National Forest west of Buffalo are going to take longer than planned to complete.

Work on the Meadowlark Dam and spillway was originally scheduled to be completed by this Wednesday (September 7th), and the Lake Point Day Use Area was supposed to reopen at about the same time.

The closure has now been extended to the end of September.

Elsewhere the work on Forest Service Road 33, also known as Crazy Woman Canyon Road, was originally scheduled to be complete by Friday (September 9th).

That closure has also been extended to the end of September, however travel will be permitted on weekends, between 5pm on Fridays and 6am on Mondays.

Reasons for delays on the 2 projects have not yet been made available.
