Hunter Road improvements: No closures scheduled

On June 1^st Oedekoven Excavation, the contractor for the Bighorn National Forest Hunter Road Project, will start mobilizing equipment to Hunter Road, Forest System Road 19, on the Powder River Ranger District.  The contractor will start clearing, grubbing and tree removal work on June 7^th.  After this is completed, they will transition into culvert and drainage work and then road reconditioning for the rest of June.  In July they will be placing aggregate, installing signs, and completing the project by mid to late July.  There are no plans for road closures; signs will be placed along the road to alert visitors of construction activities. 

This project is one of many local improvements on the Bighorn National Forest funded by the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund. If you have questions, please contact the Powder River Ranger District in Buffalo at 307.684.7806 or the Supervisor’s Office in Sheridan at 307.674.2600.
