Missoula Ranger District officials are reminding the public that Rock Creek Road will be closed twice this month to install a retaining wall and to remove a culvert and install a new bridge.

The first closure will occur at mile post 19.5 from Aug. 11 through 15 for the retaining wall work. The road will also be closed Aug. 18 through 22 at mile post 23.8 (Cougar Creek) to remove a culvert and install a new bridge.

These short-term closures will not occur on weekends.

An alternate route into the Rock Creek area is through Philipsburg, then along Highway 348 and west to the old Gillis Bridge. Motorists can then cross the bridge and turn right to access upper Rock Creek.

Motorists should use caution in the work areas, as there will be road construction equipment and hauling along the road for the next several weeks. For current information on road work and potential delays, contact the Missoula Ranger District at (406) 329-3814.
