Detour put in place
A portion of Forest Road 24, just above and including the Buffalo Crossing Bridge will be closed this week. Federal Highways has begun the Buffalo Crossing Bridge replacement project on the Alpine Ranger District. The road will be closed on July 6, 2023. It will remain closed until project completion, anticipated to be up to a year. Along with the road closure, Buffalo Crossing Campground will also be closed. Roads impacted include Forest Service roads 24 and 276. A detour will be available using Forest Roads 405, 37, and 276.
With heavy equipment and construction personnel working in the area there may be dangerous conditions to travelers, therefore, Buffalo Crossing Campground will be closed.
Updates will be provided as the project progresses.
